[Vm-dev] Absolute transparent persistence without saving image?

[Denis Kudriashov]

Hello.

I found very interesting project PhantomOS<http://dz.ru/en/solutions/phantom/>.
It's not smalltalk related. But they try build pure object operating system
with "absolute persistence option".
It object model very similar to Smalltalk, it has virtual machine as "OS
core". But difference between smalltalks and PhantomOS is how "image
saves". In smalltalk we doing it manually. But PhantomOS always has
persisted image state. So any object change will be restored after system
restart without any special action.

What do you think about this?
Was there smalltalk implementations (any research projects) with such
feature? Maybe first smalltalk computer works same way?

Best regards,
Denis
