The fascinating bit for me is that the distinction between RAM and

what works like RAM but is non-volatile storage whose content will
survive a reboot.
We are just scratching the surface here.
I don't think this will make as much difference as people often think.
Remember, we've been there before: Core memory was non-volatile, and
some of the really early machines had drums for main memory, but systems
that were born on architectures with storage that was 100% physically
non-volatile still ended up with a distinction between logically
volatile working memory and logically non-volatile long term storage,
and were thus able to transition to volatile transistor RAM with minimum
fuss.
