Thanks! I notice that the mongo goodies such as Array and Javascript are commented out. I am assuming that this is because there are no corresponding Persist datatypes to go with those. Is there a plan to add them, or do we want to create some notion of an extended datatype set?
I really haven't given much thought to it yet- was waiting for the need to arise. I didn't think it would be a hard problem to support all of the Mongo types, but supporting embedded documents might be.
Embedded documents are just key/val maps of the same simple datatypes. Data.Map would be sufficient to support documents, I have no idea what it would take to support that in a Model definition though :) Arrays in Mongo are the same map objects, but the upside is that we can represent those within Persistent as lists. I should probably learn how Persistent works, so I might take a whack at adding that support. No promises though :)
