Hmmm... this may be off-topic, but it would be nice to add the concept
of serializable, persistent and prevalent objects to Gambas:

"Object prevalence is inherently and conceptually simple and can be
implemented in any object-oriented programming language that can
serialize an object -- a feature in many modern OO languages.

In a prevalent system, everything is kept in RAM, as though you were
just using a programming language. Serializable command objects manage
all the necessary changes required for persistence."
