Well that should obsolete ORMs! There's no impedance mismatch when there's no RAM/Disk. We'd need more Disk (DB) components running for Persistent-RAM (indexing, transactions.)

You'd be surprised the number of devs I know that have a hard time thinking in terms of memory-mapping... the other issue is upgrading structures to add/remove fields will become much more difficult that way.

Why? ORMs are essentially systems to convert data structures. Adding a new layer of memory does nothing to address the problem.
