I'm intrigue, how does it deal with V8 settings? js-flags command? or a different config file?
In particular, I'm thinking of V8_MAX_SEMISPACE_SIZE setting. If you cannot change this, then redis-V8 can only store max 1.4GB of data.

Exactly what bad things happen when you put logic in the database? At my current employer, most business logic is in stored procedures.
Lots. Here you go: 1. CPU time goes up. When you need to scale up, your brick wall is a lot closer. 2. When you do need to scale up, moving it out of the database engine is very expensive and time consuming. 3. The languages are archaic, obtuse and inadequate for representing business logic and don't cover ALL concerns. How do you call a web service and do an update in a transaction for example? How do you send an em…
I don't think most of these apply to JavaScript nowadays.

#53Why would I choose to use JS in a DB? Why, oh why? This language has more quirks then a 2012 US Republican Presidential candidate.
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.
V8 faster than Lua-JIT sounds like a really bold claim. AFAIK it is the other way around, with a factor of 3x.

#54Submitted 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.
I can't read Cyrillic and my Russian writing recognition skills aren't very good either. The language could just as easily have been Montenegrin or Slavonic, I have no way of knowing. And yes, our comments are in Latin/Roman script.

What, the big "Translate from Russian?" bar didn't give it away? :p

#56What's wrong with Lua when the task at hand is writing small scripts mostly putting together a few Redis primitives?
Because the tendency of most new developers is to learn one language and attempt to use it in all cases, even if it is not an optimal application.
I used to see this pattern in VB and later .NET developers, where even when another language or platform would make a task easier or more efficient, they would attempt to hammer out something workable in the one tool they knew, and actively refused (or campaigned) against alternatives.
JavaScript is the new VB.

#57Hey guys, i am a author, as you can see project in alpha state... Everything is working, but i need some time for translate the docs/tutorials, with my english this can take a lot of time... If some one can help me with it, i will be happy.
I just tried chrome's built-in translation of your quick start page. It was surprisingly readable :)

I don't use Google Chrome/Chromium. My browser has no such bar.

Because some databases have a significant usage among web developers and web developers have a significant expertise in javascript.
So if database developers have significant experience in SQL, they should author websites using templating engines that generate HTML using SQL?
(This is only partially sarcastic as there were a few RDBMS + HTML template products that mercifully died).

I love JS =), and no one from my employers know LUA...
