That is a tall order. The closest you can get to this ideal, as
things are today, is Rel (and that's nowhere near industrial strength)
and Muldis D (and that's nothing more than just a spec). I won't even
mention my own project, which I believe to give better results from
the perspective of "industrial strength", but which doesn't really
facilitate "programming in a pure relational model", as you call it.

As things stand today, only in extremely ugly ways.

Dubious. If you can analyze OOP in relational terms, then that means that you understand relational terms, and that in turn means that you can already "apply relational thinking" to _just any_ kind of problem.
So it is not the "Analyzing OOP in relational terms" that opens up to "apply relational thinking in existing OOP systems". What DOES open up to that is merely to "understand relational thinking". Received on Sat May 22 2010 - 01:15:16 CEST
