Yes, it is written in pure Pharo, using a TCP network connection to PostgreSQL.

Hmm, I guess you're joking, AFAIK there is no protocol 4.0 (this is the 
front-end/back-end or client-server protocol to talk to the DB).

Well, that might be a mistake. PostgreSQL is very good and does most things 
that NoSQL DB's do, like key-value storage, JSON, XML, documents, .. often just 
as fast. Being a bit more traditional, cautious at the DB level is considered 
good in many circles.
