Kira

Ok, welcome to my Kira landing page. Kira is a programming language that I wrote to assist in writing the application/data tier for various projects. The idea was based on combining a object-relational-mapper, structural invariants, replication rules, and language integrated query to solve scalability problems. Kira 2.0 was written to target PHP, and it worked well and it is being used on a couple of production sites. I was rewriting Kira to target C#, but I'm going to scrap the idea and work at extending C# and use KayakHTTP. The primary lesson in Kira was not how to scale a database up but how to design with NoSQL solutions that are already scalable.

Kira was a huge learning experience, and I intend to use what I learn to build some powerful C# tools and libraries.

You can find the (now dead) Kira 3.0 repo on launchpad: Kira3 Project and my old content here

SEO Shoutouts: My favorite parser tool is ANTLR 3, and I've abused it greatly over the years. I'm a JSON fanatic and I used LitJson. Amazon S3 rocks for persistance (but sucks for performance), use LitS3.
