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! :)
