Do you intend the “save” to be always automatic? I think that’s going to be problematic to a lot of people who will point out that GenServer crashes for a reason, and that reason is usually bad state. GenServer should recover from last known good state which often is blank state or a state restored from database that provides strong data integrity guarantees.
I don’t necessarily think the above myself, as I can definitely see the usage examples where the above is a good fit. But I do fear people will abuse it, and then end up with GenServers that have persisted state, crash, restart, load up bad state and crash again - for ever. Or did you think of tackling that issue somehow?
