But PhantomOS always has persisted image state. So any object change will be restored after system restart without any special action.

Not from the smalltalk world, but perhaps also interesting for you:

https://github.com/supergillis/v8-ken

"""This project adds orthogonal persistence to the V8 engine. In v8ken, all objects, arrays, functions, ... are automatically persisted at the end of every "turn" of the event loop. In effect, events become little transactions that update v8ken's persistent heap. This allows us to write persistent, fault-tolerant JavaScript applications without relying on an external data store."""

Best regards
Stefan
