From: ypomonh Date: 2007-09-26T00:20:54+09:00 Subject: Why dynamic languages for ActiveRecord..? I�m having problems understanding why people prefer to implement the ActiveRecord pattern in dynamic languages. Of course it is very convenient if you don�t have to worry about what type is your column, but dynamic languages are more than that. Do �val, higher-order functions, runtime alteration of object, closures, etc. matter in the implementation of the ActiveRecord pattern..?
