#2Well, at least it's open source, right guys ?
Re: Are RethinkDB and Horizon abandoned?
#3Oh no! Hope everything ends up OK. RethinkDB is so fun to use. Would it be normal for development to slow when an acquisition is happening?

#4And people wonder why enterprises are risk averse and nervous of open source and new innovations from startups.
Are there any circumstances where a company can reasonably go dark for a week?
If it is an acquisition it's pretty disrepectful of people investing in their solution.

#5I'd be pretty sad if they abandon it. I have used and use it in many projects.

On the contrary, I would say that enterprises should take the risk and use such projects. They likely have enough capital to hire the correct people (e.g. one of the core devs) when a problem shows up.
Startups can't afford that. Therefore they should use older technology until they grow big enough to tank the damage.
