Modularising Code

[Björnke von Gierke]

I really would love to hear your reasoning about why start using (library) is not what you want to use (or it's brethren front script and back script).

Alternatively there's of course using 'send' and 'call' (more modern 'dispatch'), instead of relying on the natural order of the message path.

There's also behavior scripts of course, but I think they're more useful for repetitive handlers, not for different calls to a database, but someone who actually likes them should probably talk about wether they're appropriate or not.

If you want to go super crazy you can also do it like I did, and use sockets to have the db run in another program... but that's of course a different topic ;)
