Type Safety Coming To DB Queries

An anonymous reader writes "A new type-safe query language for the popular full-text search platform Solr, called Slashem (a Rogue-like), has just been released. Slashem is implemented as a domain-specific language in Scala, providing compile time type-safety, allowing you do things like date range queries against date fields but keeping you from trying to do a date range query against a string field. Hopefully this trend catches on, resulting in fewer invalid queries exploding at runtime."

It's rogue-like and the link to define "rogue" is to a fucking github page that says "lift/mongodb query dsl".

  For fuck's sake... this tells people NOTHING. It's a completely useless article submission.

Slashem, a roguelike

[Xgamer4]

...Well, there's a namespace collision. There's Slashem and roguelike as referenced in the summary, and Slash'em and Roguelike as-in the Nethack-based game and the game genre. There's no way that wasn't intentional, and whoever's brilliant idea it was needs to be shot.
