PostgreSQL has native json support now. What else is missing? Just a protocol implementation?
I'd love to see MongoDB give up and become a PostgreSQL consultancy.
Everybody I talk to in the field has the exact same Mongo story: "We love JSON! We use JSON everywhere! We just wanted a DB with native JSON support. We didn't look at the implementation details. We only looked at their marketing. Now we wake up at 3am to fix it every night and lose data every day. Somebody help us. We love JSON."

That's sensible when you consider that postgresql used to be a SQL layer over postgres. Not sure if that is the case now.

I hope so. I've become so used to Mongoid's API and I've never really liked the "invisible" properties of Active Record.

Not exactly what you were looking for, but you can connect from PostgreSQL to MongoDB via Foreign Data Wrappers - https://github.com/citusdata/mongo_fdw

Were they ever actually separate layers? I thought that PostgreSQL was a rename of Postgres that happened shortly (one-two versions) after they swapped query languages from the Ingres-derived QUEL to SQL.

#9The hstore enhancements coming in psql 9.4 will pretty much put mongo out to pasture.
"Mongodb" already nearly exists as a single column type, 9.4 will complete it.

I really would love it if somebody could go back in HN-Time and track the data on Mongo posts & comments. I've always been slightly skeptical about it, but it always seemed to me that there was a long love affair with it overall. Then people started voicing their frustrations and the community was divided and now it looks acrimonious for everyone.
