O.K. those are the "have done that, been there" old man arguments. Where are the technical ones?

Is SQL the end of the road forever?
Are you so sure that we are not doing some things different? Did you take a look at all?

I am 100% positive that we provide the simplest way to *store* objects, which was definitely not possible in the same way 15 years ago. Programming languages just did not have features like reflection.

Why should we not come up with a likewise good approach to query objects? We only started the discussion.

Evolution always has something to do with picking up the good parts in old ideas.

Kind regards,
