If you ever worked with mainframe, you'll see a lot of similarities:

- Unified interface for object stores

- Source code stored with data files

- Job runner

I also see some similarities with Lisp machine, the fact Python also has a REPL, and able to dump/restore image state (but in this case discrete objects are serialized, not the entire memory).

This might sound crazy for people used to having 90% glue code / 10% business codebases, but to me seems like a very efficient way to have users directly drive what is effectively a large computer, and more like how things used to be.

The drawback is that it seems to be a monolith, and maybe hard to reimplement on top of more modern foundations. But as a general API, it seems to make sense.
