It's official.

i already am tho. like, officially.

No it's just part of the bot's instruction to go insane once in a while.
Chris should have documented this feature somewhere.

it's pretty neat though. Once I get this done I'll have a first level per-application cache to play with instead of having to resort to url caching.
that means (hopefully) better performance, but definitely less network traffic because of the dramatic increase in cache hits in an MT environment.
so i'm excited. the locking is primitive but serviceable as a general purpose sync, courtesy of my new collection library, Bee
my big fear is performance since I'm creating a ton of slim r/w locks. i'm not sure how that will impact it and unfortunately this is a major code overhaul before i get to find out.
also, separate subject, I'm really confused about B+ trees.
They limit access to the leaf nodes but that makes me wonder if the tree is supposed to be partially in memory instead of all on disk.
and if it's partially in memory then that's frustrating but understandable. it just complicates things.
I don't know how the hell to do this.

So isn't a JSON entity framework basically like a decent NoSQL API?

i mean, yeah, kind of.
=)
but it's not a full fledged JSON db. It doesn't do anything super hi tech to index the keys or anything.
It just uses Dictionary<string,object> and List<object> classes to hold the json objects and "arrays"

Years and years ago, there was this concept that everything is a list. Of course that's the basis of the Lisp, but in the days of the Commodore PET and Apple2, there was this idea of making a program that managed a list of lists recursively. My friend Gregory Yob[^] of Hunt the Wumpus fame was working on this idea, I think he called it a "Book of Lists" but this was in the days before the Internet and I can't find any references to it.
Anyways, I've always wanted to explore the idea further in terms of a generic data structure. But then again, I'm probably reinventing aspects JSON, NoSQL, and god only knows, as you mention, indexing and storage schemes. Ugh. Still, the concept seems sound to me and could probably even express some kind of computer language where instructions are, well, lists of lists.
Not sure if I'll ever do something with the idea though.

I think LISP stands for Lost In Silly Parentheses.

Is it a recursive descent?

Have you link-listed all leaves ?

in the b+ tree yes. in the b tree no

And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
