Code-as-a-Database is something lots of people would like to have, but not much effort has been put into implementation since... Smalltalk? Could still be a pile of loose text files with markup. Like how https://obsidian.md/ https://obsidian.md/ is an informal graph database of loose markdown files.

> Code-as-a-Database is something lots of people would like to have, but not much effort has been put into implementation since... Smalltalk? It happens in some forms of Bank Python, but there's not much of it going on in the public/open-source world. I think because the advantages for a lone developer are small, and it's hard to maintain for an internet-based project since globally distributed databases are still expensive, bad, or both.
