Valentina Database and Rosetta

I recently spotted this on Freshmeat.net:

http://www.valentina-db.com/

It's a database server that claims to be very fast. It's object-relational. 
Here's what wikipedia has to say about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_(Database)

They sport some bindings to PHP and Ruby, but not to Perl and Python, for some 
reason.

Searching for "valentina" on CPAN yielded this:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rosetta/

It seems like some kind of database abstraction layer, but I'm not sure I 
fully understand what it's about. It's also under the GPLv2+. But it seems 
interesting.
