I have been playing with Air for a while now, and while I love that SQLite was included, I hate embedding SQL in my AS code. It’s 2008, we should not be working this way. For anyone who does work in other languages the lack of an ORM (Object Relational Mapper) is a big one. I have been unable to find anyone who has already built one but have been unable to find one so I am going to have to through my hat into the ring and build it myself.
When not working in ActionScript I am playing with django (an awesome web framework), and I really like the database API they have built. It is clean and simple. I have started trying to build something similar in AS, but AS is a very different language than python, and it is still a work in progress. I will start posting code examples in the next few days as I get further.
Please let me know if there is any interest in this kind of project.
Thanks.

Hi,
I recently started an Air ORM for a project. It will be released open source quickly. It’s named SOFA. You can check avilability on http://www.matsiya-technology.com (my company blog), there’s a post about it.
