It seems very interesting, and having to deal with ORMs daily makes me appreciate the clean API.
I feel being based on JSON is a big con though. While it's popular, it was never meant to be a rich serialization format, just simple. How to implement more complex fields like dates, and query efficiently on RethinkDB?
- shrughes 14y agoA benefit to JSON is that people know immediately what it is. It certainly does have its deficiencies (binary data being one that outweighs dates in terms of immediate importance). Being limited to strict JSON is not a permanent decision (I'm saying this as a member of the RethinkDB engineering team), it's a conservative one in terms of API design, and in terms of limiting scope for the first release.
