Recently, Typesafe-turned-Lightbend CTO Jonas Boner has been giving a presentation attacking the general model used for most database systems. He takes aim at CRUD or the ACID model used to achieve CRUD. Such critiques are scarcely unusual, yet Boner's argument was uncommonly brilliant.
He began with double-entry accounting, which was born as early as the seventh century and still pervades every major business in the world. Simpler alternatives are rarely considered because the disadvantages are too great. The basic premise of double-entry accounting is you can’t change the past, only correct the present.
