Yeah, I mentioned XTDB in a comment to him on one of his earlier bitemporality posts (I'm a subscriber to Tidy First?).

thanks @U04V70XH6, much appreciated 🙏

I really like this term “eventual business consistency”… it answers the “why?” part so neatly instead of the more technical bi-temporal terminilogy

yeah, I'm quite a fan too 🙂 unfortunately, as Kent says, it only really moves the question to 'but what's "eventual consistency"?', but at least it's progress 😄

we actually had a chat with Kent last week on the subject - he was a guest on the JUXT Cast, was great to meet him after following his material for what feels like most of my career. episode to be released shortly 🙂

I’ve read Kent’s book on Smalltalk best practices, I wonder what he thinks about ORMs and in what way these bitemporal aspects could be implemented in those… don’t suppose you touched upon OO subjects in the episode?

not that I would recommend ORMs, but just curious what a smalltalk guru thinks about that

not specifically, but I'm sure he'd answer the question in one of the various comments sections of his blog 🙂
