My buddy Dan Kubb has a nice interview on the recent DataMapper 1.0 Milestone.  DM is something that I have been wanting to look at forever, everytime Dan does his “let me just show you how to do this in DM instead of ActiveRecord” stints, I’m always amazed at how fast and easy he does things.  Of course, I’m also amazed at how fast and easy things are done in ActiveRecord by people who are proficient in it  Time to break out the Rails 3 and see how fast and easy the integration of DM into it is!

Anyway, a great interview and well worth the read.

Well, as of right now there aren’t any release notes or website update, but Dan Kubb (@dkubb) has tagged the 1.0 release of DataMapper.  This is for the talk at RailsConf today that Dirkjan Bussink (@dbussink) will be giving in about 15 minutes.

A huge congrats to my friend Dan and the rest of the DataMapper team as I know this has been a colossal amount of work to get a project like this to the 1.0 state, especially with the amount of stability and test coverage that the project has.

Update: The slides from the talk are up here.
