[Glass] Gemstone framework for Pharo

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Dario, over the summer I started work on a framework called Tugrik[1] 
and Voyage/Tugrik[2]. Tugrik stores objects in GemStone using an api 
based on MongoTalk ... Voyage/Tugrik uses the Voyage persistence API for 
storing objects and it is implemented using Tugrik ... For examples of 
writing Pharo code using Voyage/Tugrik, see my presentation at this 
years ESUG[3].

A couple of years ago I mentioned "server blocks" and they appear again 
here as Voyage Server Blocks that allow you to write code in Pharo that 
is "transparently executed" on the GemStone server ... objects are 
serialized back and forth between Pharo and GemStone using STON ...

I haven't fully developed Voyage/Tugrik --- all of the unit tests are 
passing --- because I am wondering if the voyage paradigm is the right 
way to access GemStone from Pharo ... I am inclined to think that Voyage 
Server Blocks are a better model which puts me at a crossroads: do I 
follow the Voyage api and push development along those lines, or do I 
pursue a pure Voyage Server Block API ...

I am hoping to "partner" with interested developers and let them drive 
the direction of development ...

I think that Michal Balda is presenting his take on a Pharo/GemStone 
framework at the Zurick Smalltalk meetup tonight[4] -- Michal saw my 
talk at ESUG and I spent some time talking to Michal as well --- and 
after playing with Voyage/Tugrik has an idea for a simpler framework and 
I am very interested in seeing what he has come up with...
