Yup, although not lately. DabbleDB was (mostly) implemented in Smalltalk, until it was acquired by Twitter. I would really like to see a version of the Smalltalk VM that runs directly on Xen. That way you could bundle a Smalltalk image with the VM as an AMI, and launch it as an EC2 instance. Smalltalk has long suffered for not integrating well with the "native" operating system on desktop machines, because deep down it really wants to be the OS for a Xerox Alto. Running in the cloud makes utter sense for Smalltalk.
