Squeak is meant to be a laboratory for exploring the pink and blue directions of objects and Smalltalk, correct?
What kinds of blue ideas are bumping around in people's heads about object persistence? I'm currently involved in development using TopLink as a persistence manager, and it's dissatisfying to design object oriented systems, and then have to throw away what's right with what performs well when mapped to a relational database.
So... I'm wondering what the next big thing is in object persistence.
