Yes. Predictions about how long it takes for something technical to become true 
are always too short termed. :)

I think that the gap between volatile memory and persistent memory is only a 
necessity nothing natural. The gap will be closed somewhere in the future. 
Having a LOOM architecture helps mitigate the effect of the gap if not make it 
unnoticable. From then on you just need to buy the newest things like SSDs to 
make it happen sooner.
