Bring back Mork! ducks

• jcranmer 8y ago
  Mork actually sucked even as a key-value store. It's only decent if your requirements are a) only lookup on a fixed, autoincrement integer ID, b) the only operation you're likely to do is load an entire record or store an entire record at once, and c) parallelism is not in your vocabulary. Disclaimer: I'm one of the last people to make functional changes to mork.

    That's not a "Disclaimer". It's actually the polar opposite... a "Claimer"? ... I think "Source" is the best word to use there.

        Hah! :) I've been meaning to call out other misuses of "Disclaimer" vs. "Disclosure" before, but I usually don't because it's just tedious.
