The post is a bit light on details - no indication of why I might be interested which is a shame as I just might be.

I am currently handling some rather complex data that has to be represented at the client end (JavaScript objects), the server in classes and also within a relational database. So far I am happy with my custom solution - but there might be something better out there.

If you're using .NET then I would recommend Sub-sonic. It worked well for me, for a side-project.

Depends on what you're doing. Subsonic is great, but it's not terribly flexible. On the other hand you have NHibernate which is really flexible, but is a total pain to get up and running with.

I'm just simply curious, not debating, so can you please elaborate more on "it's not terribly flexible"? Thanks.

Everyone and their ORM.

Yeah, I've wrote one in Java, internally, too. But why announce it without code examples, feature lists and praises about issues with ORMs it would fix?

There are code examples at http://www.bestbrains.dk/frogdotnet/.

I wasn't able to find a list of features or comparisons to other ORMs.

I read through what they had, and their main reason for making Frog.Net was that they didn't like some other popular ORM, but after a quick glance at both, I couldn't even tell them apart.
