The front end for Squeak was done by some Argentinean Smalltalkers.
The last I looked it was done for version 5 while the current version
of Gemstone is 6.
The other advantage of Gemstone is it is known to run fairly large
databases relative to the other databases that are being discussed.
If designed correctly, the code can be executed on either the server
or client which is very nice from a tuning perspective.
