I can't describe how sad I am over this. RethinkDB is not just excellent db, but it is yardstick on how future db's should look like. What you accomplished there is excellent balance on features, great ui. We really need this project to go on, even if slower.
- nailer 10y agoWe use RethinkDB at CertSimple. It's always been a great DB with safe defaults, excellent documentation and it's always just worked. Trickier ReQL queries are intuitive. It deserved wider support than what it got.
- api 10y agoIt's depressing that a half-baked constantly problematic effort like MongoDB wins while this gets neglected. Unfortunately we still live in a world where marketing beats merit.
- desireco42 10y ago:) You nailed it. I think MongoDB was interesting experiment and can be used, but RethinkDB shows you how it should be done right. MySQL was for long time default choice over PgSQL, yet once developers matured, quality won. Just it took a decade :)
- Grishnakh 10y agoIt's always like this. Just look at Windows; if people cared about quality, no one would be complaining about Windows 10 giving them grief because Microsoft would be out of business or relegated to some business software niche, and we'd all be running some kind of Unix variant or maybe some descendant of BeOS or OS/2.
