Since the question that Michal is answering showed up on the
GLASS list, I thought it made sense to forward the answer here for
those who aren't on the pharo list ...

Hi,
the short answer is: not yet.
The back story is: We have been experimenting with GemStone and
Tugrik at work. While Tugrik appears to work very well (even
though it is new and not yet finished), I found the overall
architecture (Tugrik+Mongo+Voyage) a bit complicated. Tugrik is
meant to be a replacement for Voyage-Mongo but actually uses
parts of its implementation and behavior. I understand that it
does so to mimic Voyage-Mongo so that switching from Mongo to
GemStone is relatively painless. That does not fit our use case
though - we don't need a replacement for Mongo since we haven't
used it in the first place. We would also like to have something
that we could possibly maintain ourselves, should the priorities
of Esteban or Dale change in a few years (I don't want this to
sound negative, I am sure they would not drop the support just
because they want to, but I understand they are very busy and
for us it is a certain risk we would like to mitigate).
While playing with Tugrik I came up with a few ideas so I
started a clean Pharo image with the following task in mind:
find a way of getting objects from Pharo to GemStone and back,
as simply as possible, without any unnecessary dependencies. In
other words, I wanted to see if I could create a simpler
Pharo-to-GemStone persistence solution than the existing
Tugrik+Mongo+Voyage stack. As of now it's still in an early
phase but I already have something that could work. For the
meetup in Zürich I want to have something to show (a small
demo), or, if I run into any conceptual issues, to have a topic
for discussion if anyone's interested.
I won't release it publicly until I am sure it works well. But I
can guarantee you that if anything exciting does emerge, this
mailing list will learn about it. It will definitely not be
exclusive for the people who attend the meetup. I just want to
use the opportunity of the meetup to get early feedback and/or
input, maybe it will trigger a discussion about important issues
that I haven't thought about yet. I am not at all a GemStone
expert so the possibility is there.
