While I certainly would like for Magma to continue on Pharo, the energy needed to maintain it cross-platform exceeds the level of interest for that happen in the Pharo community. Certainly, if there is, I will assist, but Pharo seems be focused on newer solutions for persistence and my own focus is on Squeak apps these days.
Just note - if by "newer solutions for persistence" you are somehow perhaps referring to my blog post on Oak - I am not at all representative of the "Pharo community". I have no clue what "they" are focused on. My reasons for pursuing Oak instead of say Magma, is based on my own personal interests in NoSQL etc, and has nothing to do with Pharo.
The reason for me using Pharo instead of Squeak is actually simply based on the fact that those libraries I need for the work I am doing - runs in Pharo.
I wish Magma all the best since I love OODBs and your work on Magma is immense. Btw, do we have some kind of generic "benchmark" code that we could play around with?
I think Magma would benefit strongly from showing the community what it is capable of! :)
