> Greetings, I was a huge fan of your work and all the `dry-rb` stuff before I left ruby behind. I’ve used (abused) Ecto schemas for doing much of the same things this lib can do, but that gets kinda clunky when you starting nesting things 😅

Hi kwando!! Been a while 🙂 And yes, nested data structures is a classic example when solutions like Drops schemas turn out to work really well vs ORM-like approaches.

Fantastic! Let me know if it works or doesn’t and why 🙂 Report any issues you find! It’s my current OSS focus as we use it extensively at work 💪
