I don't think the author fully understood the purpose of most of the tools he was dabbling with – he spent a lot more time making jokes about the differences between imaginary age groups than what the tools enable you to do. He talked about CouchDB but said he couldn't think of useful things one could do with reductions outside of counting.. come on. (Plus, you don't even need reduce to count maps to a key in CouchDB.) Kind of a fluff piece. Lots of buzzwords. I had forgotten about Persevere though, so thanks for the reminder :)
