my theory is that pg is a special case. i tried to learn lisp, given his appreciation for it, but i never could think of anything to do with it. most problems tend to strongly suggest a particular language, and in my case, that has never been lisp. i started a big data-intensive project awhile ago, and thought about using flat files. i tend to use them myself, whenever possible. but i couldn't easily see a way around contention issues between many coordinated processes, so i punted and went with mysql.
