There has been a big rush in non-Rails based communities to see what they can learn from that world, and if it makes sense to port any ideas over.

Thomas Risberg has started to port over ActiveRecord to a project called ActiveMapper which sits a-top of JdbcTemplate.

It has been interesting to see the two sides:

• Lets tweak our frameworks to use smart defaults
• Lets do code-gen to generate artifacts on our frameworks
• Lets write a new framework / port something from Rails

We all knew it was coming :)
