Google trends is not the sole decided of popularity. http://www.google.com/trends?q=ruby+on+rails%2C+django&c... Do you really think that ruby on rails has been declining in popularity since 2006?
Valid point, but the Django comparison is a red herring as most of those searches have nothing to do with the framework.

Couchbase offers 3 products -- Couchbase Server (which is Membase, with an instance of CouchDB for persistant storage). Couchbase Single Server (which is CouchDB plus Geocouch plus a few other addons). Couchbase Mobile (self-explanatory). My understanding is that version 3.0 will probably merge the Membase and Couchbase products into one, so you'll have Couchbase and Couchbase mobile. BigCouch is a separate product f…
Also, CouchDB is all REST, so many people just write their own drivers.
For example-- Ektorp, one of the more popular Java libraries? Wraps the Apache HttpClient, and uses the Jackson library to parse JSON. CouchDB4J does something similar, only it uses JSON-lib. A good Java coder could probably write their own fully-functional driver in a day.
jquery.couch.js is basically just a wrapper to $.ajax().
node-couchdb uses the built in client library for node. A good node coder could probably write a fully-functional driver in an hour.
So I don't think it's a matter of "download the official driver" as much as it is "download your platform's preferred JSON parser".

That many people honestly are interested in Django Reinhardt?
a bit of self-ego inflating (feel free to bust me down a notch though), but between the C and D points in the MongoDB line, which was quite a spike, The Little MongoDB Book and the mongly.com tutorials went live :)
I'm not entirely surprised. CouchDB is very clunky and minimalist. And documentation is really, really horrible. The futon UI is a pain to use. I had to write my own library for nodejs because all the existing code I found was terribly written and poorly documented. It just goes on and on. And I like the technology, I persisted and eventually learned to be sort of proficient with CouchDB. But I doubt other people wil…

Quite possibly. The Twitter debacle tainted RoR's reputation (fairly or not), and there is a concern that Ruby might turn out to be a flash in the pan. Django/Python is just as effective, and enterprises feel far more comfortable with Python's depth of support across the board. Google's real fail is the event tags - a grand total of NONE relate to Django the web framework.
I think Couch simply started moving in the wrong technical direction at some point - mostly because of an unhealthy preoccupation with running on cell phones.

I think it's also important to add-- writing a "driver" for Couch is, basically, writing an API that essentially calls some HTTP library with some options set, and then parses the resulting JSON data. For example-- Ektorp, one of the more popular Java libraries? Wraps the Apache HttpClient, and uses the Jackson library to parse JSON. CouchDB4J does something similar, only it uses JSON-lib. A good Java coder could pro…
