Reminds me of old 80ies Smalltalk environments.
* everything is an object
* image-based persistence
I believe you cannot much traction in 2019 by merely claiming benefits of being object-oriented. These times are long gone.
The basic ideas of OO(extension by inheritance, coupling data and code=poor concurrency, wrong abstractions = expensive rewrites, wrong incapsulation = impossibility to change behavior) turned out problematic in use.
I'm still waiting for OS that positions itself to be "100% async" - every operation/event is a future/promise/callback, everything can be hooked, is progress-trackable and cancellable. That what I can stand behind.
