I have a couple of libraries a library for mapping http requests to domain objects (see 'naked objects' pattern), with convention based runtime form generation. no more writing controllers, most views are generated, full feature REST API out of the box. A bit like Django admin template, but more powerful. an in memory 'db', persisted using an event log of user inputs to the domain model (see 'prevalence' pattern). no more worrying about network latency, no more mapping objects to database columns, no more writing update scripts (or at least not much) I don't think either of these approaches have much love in the mainstream, but I think they make me way more productive than the standard MVC/(SQL/NOSQL) approaches.
