That's good to hear, because the Go driver has been exhaustively maintained by a single developer ( https://github.com/dancannon/gorethink ) Dan Cannon, and I'm sure he (as well as the Go community) would love to see some support.
Ditto regarding a java driver. It seems crazy for a database to not provide native java support.

I guess you have. There are a lot of us into alternative databases that are hoping for Rethink to fulfill the original promise of MongoDB. That said, I can't blame you for not devoting a bunch of attention to it. :)
Can you be more specific on the original promise MongoDB didn't fulfill?

Very glad to hear that. I tried using RethinkDB with Clojure recently, but there are two drivers. Both are mentioned on your pages. Figuring out which driver I should use isn't a great start — so even if you don't do a lot of development, just pointing to the drivers you consider "canonical" would help.
I had to create a small project for programming class. I settled on clojure and revise(bitemyapp's driver). Avoid this one. I hit on driver bug today, but didn't have the time to fix/report it. Just switched to the other one...
I've also used Revise a lot and it was great, but the author is busy and hasn't been able to keep up with RethinkDB releases so its now a few versions behind.
Is Rethink going to stay in the community? Or is there a chance that it could be bought out? I don't want to spend time learning something and have it go private like FoundationDB. I'm assuming GNU and Apache is a good thing? How is RethinkDB licensed? The RethinkDB server is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. The client drivers are licensed under the Apache License v2.0. http://rethinkdb.com/…
Daniel @ RethinkDB here. As you mention, RethinkDB is fully open source so RethinkDB is always going to remain freely available.
(BTW the Open Source Institute was unable to get a trademark for "open source" so it doesn't matter that they approved it.)
Anyone has some numbers on performance? I tried RethinkDB 1.x and the performance wasn't quite there yet, specially bulk import and aggregations.
We'll be publishing a performance report soon (we didn't manage to get it out today). Rough numbers you can expect for 1KB size documents, 25M document database: 40K reads/sec/server, 5K writes/sec/server, roughly linear scalability across nodes. We should be able to get the report out in a couple of days.
Thank you for the fantastic product, by the way! :)

I don't consider the AGPL to be fully open source . To me, it isn't in the spirit of open source. (BTW the Open Source Institute was unable to get a trademark for "open source" so it doesn't matter that they approved it.)

For the rubyists out there check out http://nobrainer.io/
Is anyone using nobrainer in production? We're currently using Mongoid (MongoDB ORM), and an Active Record like ORM for RethinkDB is the main thing holdings us back. I don't have great insight into nobrainer, but last I checked it seemed like joins wheren't implemented (but on the roadmap).
Nobrainer orm wasn't fun though, too many edge cases that interfere with activerecord and rails conventions. Going a bit on a tangent, after many experiments I've developed a strong conviction that pg is the best database choice for rails, especially with the jsonb datatype included in 9.4. It is the best of two worlds: reliable, proven sql db that plays really well with Rails and has nosql capabilities, including indexing and quering. So good. Ymmv.

No, the AGPL uses strong copyleft, so any future derivative work must be released under the same terms (and the same license or later versions if I'm not mistaken). The only possibility is to start a closed source clone that doesn't use any of the original code from zero. The cases in which the community forks a project licensed with a copyleft license (like LibreOffice) has to do with insatisfaction with the directi…

I don't [know] about you, but over here in NYC, we have to pay for food, rent, clothing, medical insurance, entertainment, etc. Not a single one of these transactions involves counter parties that would smile my way and say "it's on the house".
