Indeed. And rewriting something that also uses an OODB is going to kill productivity even more. I’ve taken a look at what would be needed to support magma on pharo a few years ago. Chris always told us he uses it professionally on squeak and has not enough capacity to keep up with changes in pharo without having a customer/maintainer for it. Twice a year or so someone asks about magma on pharo and takes a look. AFAIK there are no real obstacles to a port, but magma uses a lot of deep implementation specifics that will take an experienced smalltalker to deal with, and a lot of mailing list archeology as pharo changed a lot since magma worked on pharo last Stephan
