  Any specific driver in your mind?

    Scala/Java so you can hire/contract me ;)

    Java in particular... I don't want to use a small community supported driver in production. Which may be the reason that popular frameworks will not release support until there is one. I just trying to compare with my current stack spring mvc 3, spring data mongodb.

      +1 to official Java drivers

  > How do you know that "Thousands of developers are already building applications backed by RethinkDB;"? We know in two ways. First, people have told us via GitHub/IRC/e-mail/etc. and Shirts For Stories page (http://www.rethinkdb.com/community/shirts-for-stories/ http://www.rethinkdb.com/community/shirts-for-stories/). Second, the administration UI checks for version updates, which gives us some information about how many developers are using RethinkDB and how long they stuck around. There is no perfect way to know because there are many sources of imprecise information, but we're quite confident about the overall conclusions of the data. > I hope we'll see soon more official drivers... We've been trying to keep the surface area of the project low for now. Which specific drivers are you interested in? (we probably won't be able to do anything about it for the next ~6 months or so, but having the info helps enormously)

    The part with update check is interesting. Java! My current stack is spring mvc 3, spring-data-mongodb. It's not perfect, but at least I don't have to hack my way into basic db ops...

    I'd like to second the call for an official Java(/Scala) driver. Would be real helpful to push RethinkDB forward in the circles I'm in.
