Congrats to the CouchDB team! I remember playing around with writing a NodeJS driver for it all the way back in 2011. Sadly, I decided to use and make a driver for MongoDB instead simply because it was easier at the time. Despite that choice, I have always admired CouchDB for pushing the frontiers on stuff like Offline-First with PouchDB way ahead of its time (and also what inspired me a little bit for our Open Source Firebase alternative http://gun.js.org/ http://gun.js.org/ ). I am particularly really excited to see the announcement of the Mango query language, since querying Couch was one of lesser-easy things to do back then. I'm also very excited to hear about performance improvements, as this has been particularly interesting to me as I've been tracking various system's performance as I have worked on our own (Mongo with Wired Tiger, Cassandra, Redis, and even Chrome V8 engine as we have built towards 30M+ ops/sec, see https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/100000-ops-sec-in-IE6-on-2GB-Atom-CPU https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/100000-ops-sec-in-IE6-on-2... ). However clicking through on the performance links didn't lead to any numbers or benchmarks. I would love to see that! Really happy that Couch is on the homepage of Hacker News. I really feel like they made lots of correct decisions that got passed over by the NoSQL craze, and have lately not been receiving the type of attention as it should compared to (what I biasly think) unfavorable but hyped up Master-Slave systems. People should really check into Couch's Master-Master replication!
