Good ideas but as an outsider that wanted to use it this was my takeout: If I look at google trends [0] mongodb starts trending July 2009 (It exists earlier but it is the time that rises) rethinkdb equivalent is March 2015 and it never rises so steeply. That is six years. With all the people I've talked nobody new rethinkdb it and it was not a problem of re-educating them on its merits. So what was needed was marketing, success stories and competitors' failure stories. People did not know it existed. Maybe in the cognitively saturated NoSQL market we more. Gone are the days we could predict developers' needs on our hunches or our interpretations of the feedback we are given from early adopters because they are a biased sample. Worse: we might need people in marketing and, god forbid, some MBAs.
