A bit irritated at how the author complains about other databases astroturfing on Hacker News, then writes a glowing post about HyperDex without mentioning that he's one of the authors. That said, I agree with the thesis that current-generation distributed systems provide a terrible API for users who actually want to get concurrency right. I'm optimistic about projects like Summingbird[0] and Bloom[1], which run very high-level declarative programs with simple consistency guarantees.
