Why is there no conversation on the topic at hand and instead conversation on why use MongoDB.
This authors post has nothing to do with pro/cons of mongodb, and is entirely around a new query engine and computer science. And instead we've devolved into a discussion on the pros and cons of PostgreSQL vs MongoDB.
- christophilus 3y agoSame as it ever was. Someone posts a new JS framework, and the top 50 comments are about how bad JS is, and why don't we do RUST with WASM instead? Someone posts about a new Go release, and the top 50 comments are about how terrible Go is, and why don't we use a real language instead? Mongo... same thing. I get it. People don't like certain tools. But it would be nice for the rest of us to be able to actually discuss the topic at hand without all of the tangential critical noise.
- sambeau 3y agoIt's completely understandable. This is a significant and interesting upgrade to MongoDB that naturally gets people interested in a, "Hmmm… maybe I should take another look at MongoDB" way. Before wasting time, it seems sensible to use this forum full of experts to ask whether it would be worthwhile, and what the advantages or disadvantages would be. I didn't sense any negativity in the question, and it was the exact question I had in my head too. After skim-reading the article I went straight to scrolling down the comments to look for this exact question.
- hot_gril 3y agoThe original question was fine, asking what's the reason to use MongoDB. Like, it got a new query engine, please convince me to try using it / how does the new engine compare to Postgres. The sub-questions about FOSS and font choice are annoying, in fact I removed my replies on them because I didn't want to feed the problem.
