Prevalence

Prevalence is a variation on the theme of Orthogonal Persistence where the graph model of the computation universe is kept in memory, with atomic transactions to it being logged to a journal.

See Prevayler, Advogato article, Rebel with a cause, BKNR, Common Lisp Prevalence, etc.

  Excerpt:
