FWIW, the AgentBase VM incorporates an object store that
supports storing object closures. Right now, I'm using it to
build a data mining repository with 1.1 million records, each of
which contains a number of nested collections (about 244 columns
in all). Consider this:
(beginTransaction myOR)
(setq myOR[somekey:] someObject)
(commitTransaction myOR)
Also, all source and compiled code is kept in object
repositories -- we only use OS files via some built-in file
functions, primarily for importing and exporting data from the
object repostories.
The disk footprint of the AgentBase engine DLL is less than 2MB.
