The Pleiades paper handed out today refers to persistent programming
languages. This might make an interesting project topic. Todays
Object-Oriented Database Management Systems are difficult to use, can be
slow, and are expensive to buy. Persistent programming lanaguages might
offer developers an attractive alternative to these systems. I would like
to investigage these lanaguages in greater depth and see how they measure
up to systems like ObjectStore. How do these languages provide the ACID
properties (atomicity, consistency, isolation and durablility) that
full-blown OODBM's do.
