Remove the BoundedStorable requirement

[lastmjs]

Currently all values that are to be stored in a stable structure (as far as I know) require the BoundedStorable trait to be implemented. This requires the developer to reason about possible maximum and fixed sizes of all of their data types, recursively, and is a significant hurdle to the developer experience of stable structures.

At Demergent Labs we have exposed TypeScript and Python versions of the stable structures library to developers, and we plan to use stable memory, and hope to use stable structures, under-the-hood to implement our sudodb/sudograph databases. If we have to implement the BoundedStorable trait for the databases, we will be exposing significant complexity to our end users.

Not to mention the efficiency concerns. It would be great to have this requirement lifted in the future, which would be a boon to Azle, Kybra, and Sudograph.

Hey @lastmjs! We were just having discussions about the roadmap for stable structures, and this is definitely one of the higher priority changes we'll be working on.

Any update on this?

[ielashi]

@lastmjs Yes! I was off for the past two weeks. We do have a POC now in #84, and I'll work on getting a production-ready version of it merged in over the coming days.

Thanks for the update, very excited

[lastmjs]

Just updating this thread, I'm testing this locally in Azle and so far all is well. Once this is officially released I'd say we can close this issue.

Version 0.6.0 has been released today, so we can say that this ticket is now resolved.

Amazing!!!
