I have a js proxy project that auto-persists changes out live, as you change the object, rathre like this. I really need to get back to it.
The advantage of being able to see state easily is incredible. It's so scriptable. I only demo'ed it for myself, but I've also run a git-auto-commit program on the data as it changes over time, which is much more useful commits to look at over time than seeing data in a huge JSON file change.
I really really hope we can start using the hierarchical file system to hold data. For transport, its convenient to have data glommed together, but I think we're really missing out on end user programming and malleable systems by having these rich data formats everywhere and keeping the filesystem dumb.
