I started using RethinkDB in one of my projects and am looking for excuses to use it in more of them. So far things have been great and honestly my impression is that RethinkDB doesn't get nearly the hype it deserves. I used Mongo before and it is fine db and I don't think I would be sad to use it, however rethink really does so many things better. Again I just started using it and things are really good, I didn't ran into any obvious limitations and annoyances. There are several features that I really like, for example: web admin is really well done, it is easy and obvious how you create cluster, there are a lot of small things that made me jumpstart my development faster, as I can run queries in admin to try them out and I also get data back to see how things will look like. The only thing I am somewhat missing is 'brew install rethinkdb'

Actually, 'brew install rethinkdb' is now available. I'll update the install page with it in a moment. EDIT: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/269 https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/269

  Thank you :), again it is not really serious gripe as regular installer does the job just fine, but I tend to install all apps like that and this helps. +1 for sure for this one btw, when I was installing it, I tried that even before checking on homepage :)

I would like to add (not to edit original post one more time), that in one of those things I like is query language. I remember how it felt weird initially doing simple things in Mongo, language is very simple and queries make sense and are easy to read.

Why brew instead of port? I've always wondered why the pendulum swings between ports and homebrew so often on HN ..

  I don't think that pendulum has swung to the MacPorts side for many years.
