And it exists a plenty of persistence implementations.
The joafip goal was to write a full object data model without take
care of memory amount, the object graph is derecitly backend to file.

Shouldn't that be your job as the spammer for the JOAFIP project, not tom's?

Burden of proof is on you. Il est votre devoir.

SPAM implies:

1. commercial motive

2. posting repeatedly

3. posting in places inappropriate to discuss a project

4. refusing to engage in ensuing discussions.

None of that has happened. We have a simple product announcement which
is completely appropriate given the demise of the announcements topic.

Thank for this reply.
Topic is not joafip, but is about the family of solutions like joafip.
First goal is to annouce joafip, but also to have an open discution on
alternatives solutions to easily manage more object than memory can
contains.
I will be happy to gain some new user, but also to have comparison
with alternative, I am not saying joafip is the best solution, but
that it is a solution: each solutions have advantages or disadvantages
according to a project context or to needs.

"SPAM" in all upper-case letters is a trademark of Hormel foods for their
canned pork product. "Spam" in lower or mixed case is the topic.
