Not to deprive Alban of any of his credit, but the term "impedance mismatch"
is at least 25 year old; as far as I know it was coined to describe the
problems arising from attempting to shoehorn an OO model onto a relational
database.
And despite the smart people in academia warning us about that mismatch in the
early 90s, we bravely soldiered (I'm taking full blame myself here) on and
10-15 years later came up with abominations like Hibernate...
History lesson over, carry on...
