Review - PM3: An Orthogonal Persistent Systems Programming Language - Design, Implementation, Performance.

Review

This paper shows that orthogonal persistence, which is preferable from a programmer perspective, is also competitive in terms of performance.

It is a superbly written paper, with an excellent discussion of implementation decisions and a comprehensive empirical study.

A wonderful paper, in all respects. Orthogonal persistence has been rejected previously because of performance concerns; this paper should dispell that faulty rationale.
