Small question about Arc, coming from a Haskell background. I've used Yesod for web applications, and it has a database-agnostic API for persistence (called yesod-persistent). Is there a similar tool for Arc, or is there at least a database API to any specific one?

I wish more than anything else that arc had any sort of database API, but as it stands our database is just flat files loaded into memory in a hashtable. Racket and scheme (which arc is built on) have some database APIs but you'd have to cross define them in arc which isn't trivial.

Thanks for the reply! But that's disheartening, along with the whole fnid problem.
