Submitted too early? The quickstart page is still in Cyrillic.

Nitpick, but it's not in Cyrillic, the same way your comment (and mine) is not in Latin or Roman. It's in Russian.

Why would I choose to use JS in a DB? Why, oh why? This language has more quirks then a 2012 US Republican Presidential candidate.

Because some databases have a significant usage among web developers and web developers have a significant expertise in javascript.

The docs look Russian and the Author page is Lipsum :P http://redis-v8.com/author/ Looks like a very early post :) It sounds like he used V8 to replace redis's network stack? Doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe someone can explain why this is awesome :)

Stop it with the smileys.

That's the first thing I thought.

Having spent literally the last 10 years removing stored procedures and extensions from software products to eek out a little more from the black box that is a database engine and remove all the rats nest of logic, why would I want to go and do the same all over again?

Of all the things I've learned in the last 20 years or so, you shouldn't stick any logic or programmability inside the database engine. It's hell down the line.

And don't get me started on where the programmability abstraction gets fudged in with the data resulting in executable data and all sorts of security hell.

It is an extension of Redis that makes DB scripting in JavaScript possible, as far as I understand.

1) JS is easy, almost everyone can work with it. 2) V8 is faster than LUA 5-10 times........ 3) MVC - Model and crons, i think should be in DB.

This was submitted way too early (some of the pages are still "lorem ipsum" placeholders), but it's still cool. Looks like the author is basically using V8 to script Redis, similar to how Lua can be used [1] to script it already. [1]: http://redis.io/commands#scripting

Yep, you are absolutely right. Every one can do that, no needs to be a genius NoSQL programmer or something =), if you want to migrate from SQL solutions, i think redis-v8 can help.
