Magma actually scales down pretty well, and given how ridiculously easy to use it is, it's actually a pretty good fit for small applications - particularly if you use the standalone mode, rather than client-server. I definitely wouldn't call it oversized or overkill. The biggest problem is as you say, it doesn't work in current Pharo. The last version I've successfully used it in is 1.3 (and I still have a couple of running applications with Magma and Pharo 1.3). I've made a couple of attempts at porting it in the past, but it's a non-trivial task and lack of time, and lack of a deep understanding of both Magma itself and the changes in Pharo meant that I never got very far, and in the end I decided it would be better for me to port my applications to a different persistence solution. (Currently trying Oak - but might end up just using Riak directly). Regards, Stuart
