Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 10:17:22 -0800 From: Travis Griggs <tgriggs@keyww.com> To: lwn@lwn.net Subject: More Good Smalltalk News In similiar fashion to ObjectShare (ParcPlace) Smalltalk VisualWorks NC releases, which have been infinitely more popular (download wise) than the NT variant, I just got a tip from one of the guys at GemStone, that they're releasing a GemStone NC for Linux for VisualWorks. The guys at GemStone invented/pioneered the notion of a multi-user concurrent object database, back when the world had barely even heard of objects. This is totally cool news. For years, big database prices have kept people from using GemStone much less playing with it. The best OO database is now there for Linux! No official press release yet... I'll send one as I see it. -- Travis Griggs (a.k.a.
