The paradigm is quite difficult to describe well. Another attempt is here:

Plunder is a new programming model where programs run forever.
Hardware restarts are invisible to the software, as is moving a running program from one physical machine to another.
Because of this, programs don't need to save their state into an external database, they can simply keep everything "in memory", and that state will be synchronized to disk transparently.
