I started playing with Chicago Boss a few years ago and it was nice. But the models/records part is designed around Erlang's experimental "Parameterized Modules" feature, which has since been more or less rejected (see: http://www.erlang.org/news/35 http://www.erlang.org/news/35). It seems that Erlang will continue to support the syntax for legacy reasons but I'm extremely hesitant to hop on board a framework that uses an all but deprecated feature so centrally.

"Deprecated" isn't the proper term, I think. It's not in the mainline language, but it is instead kept as a separate module in the form of a parser transformation, which CB pulls in during build time. In that regard, it's no different from pulling in any other library.
