ASP.Net ActionPack - Ruby on Rails Simplicity for .Net?

Korby Parnell's CodePlex Wunderkammer - ActionPack for Your DAL: It's Slicker Than Hot Poi

"My good buddy Rob Connery, of Commerce Starter Kit fame, has started a groovy new project on CodePlex called ASP.NET ActionPack. ActionPack consists of a set of ORM tools, code generation and dynamic query tools.

Inspired by the magic of Ruby on Rails, ActionPack provides a BuildProvider that reads your database and creates all the objects (and strongly-typed collections) you need to get rolling. It even wraps your stored procedures and creates accessor methods for them (returning readers). They have also rolled in Rails Scaffolding, providing you with a full-blown editor, in seconds.

That sounds kind of cool. To see it in action, check this out, http://www.wekeroad.com/actionpackintro.html

I've resisted playing with Ruby on Rails (my brain's transaction log is almost full ...) but I am interested in seeing the reported Rails coolness in the .Net world...

Plus I hate writing DAL's and the SP support sounds cool.

I've added this project to my watched project list and will be interested in see how it evolves...
