The docs look Russian and the Author page is Lipsum :P http://redis-v8.com/author/ Looks like a very early post :) It sounds like he used V8 to replace redis's network stack? Doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe someone can explain why this is awesome :)

It is an extension of Redis that makes DB scripting in JavaScript possible, as far as I understand.

Uliy, call me please

Correct me if I'm wrong - looks like it can be used as a desktop document DB?

That'll be very very cool, since MongoDB gives up 32bit systems.

And I wish it'll support Windows.

Why 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.

i wonder if JS will empower any embedded hw projects soon. writing the next mars rover in js anyone?

That's the first thing I thought. Having spent literally the last 10 years removing stored procedures and extensions from software products to eek out a little more from the black box that is a database engine and remove all the rats nest of logic, why would I want to go and do the same all over again? Of all the things I've learned in the last 20 years or so, you shouldn't stick any logic or programmability inside t…

In a key-value store like Redis, it's actually quite useful to be able to generate an atomic query that says something like "If List A contains B, return C. Otherwise check whether List D contains E, and if so, return all the keys and values of Dictionary F, but otherwise return zero."

But of course, Redis already has Lua scripting which is a nearly perfect fit for its use case. JavaScript looks terribly cluttered by comparison. Some sort of V8 integration might make sense if the goal is to make Redis even easier to use with node.js, but I don't see anything in the documentation to suggest that this is what's happening.

Because some databases have a significant usage among web developers and web developers have a significant expertise in javascript.

Which sadly doesn't mean that they have a lot of experience in the algorithms involved when handling datasets.

Hi, just nipticking: you wrote

Google Chrome is proprietary software. Chromium is open source.
