There have been many attempts over the years. There's Prevayler [0], in Java, and Madeleine [1], in Ruby. Neither of them became wildly popular.

I worked with Madeleine for a few years and while the performance was amazing, RDBM systems are ahead because of the many years of standardisation, tooling and capabilities (e.g. migrations)

The other very important thing is - DB latency is an issue only in the hands of a novice. In the real world, network latency is a couple of magnitudes higher.
