Utopia? There are currently persistent and prevalent object systems for 
Ada and Java and probably other languages. I recall Prevayler for Java, 
and at least one persistent system for Ada (isn't that actually by 
yourself?). The problem is they force an object oriented model which as 
has been argued does not always fit the application domain well.
