The mongoDB comment rings true at least from the past Never heard of the OS mentioned

  > Never heard of the OS mentioned I hope for your sake that this admission won’t cause you to be brutally downvoted too. Here’s a pre-emptive +1 ;)

    Downvoted because I dared to point out that I had been downvoted elsewhere. What is wrong with the denizens here nowadays??

        “Please” being the operative term in “please don’t – to be perfectly frank, if I see people behaving fanatically, I’m going to mention it. Elsewhere others beyond myself were downvoted for simply mentioning that they’d never heard of the OSes mentioned before. Is that deserving of downvoting? No. Am I going to stay quiet about it? Again, no. Do I care if I will be downvoted to hell and below? For the third time, no. I consider the behaviour of others to be far more rude – and such behaviour is on the rise. If it is hidden behind a rule that has the side-effect of making it impossible to call such behaviour out, I’m going to disregard that rule – as I am doing now.

  Yes, Mongo was and is an absolute dumpster fire. But I am certain you must have heard of Solaris.

  Did you ever try to use Riak though? I did - not a great api or developer experience; I can see why the norms wanted to use mongo...

  SmartOS = open source Solaris, basically.
