It will take a bit of time to get a PHP driver going. Hang on!

While I don't know what they have planned. Might I say part of the issue might be PHP's _extremely_ poor protobuf support.

There are a few ways to deal with this issue -- contribute to the PHP protobuf library, or have an alternative layer on the server that accepts a more portable but less efficient serialization format. It's a little frustrating, but wouldn't be too difficult to solve.

It's a legitimate question (whatever you think about PHP) considering the size of the user base.

I wasn't replying to that comment -- the one I was replying to was deleted.

Ah, my bad. Carry on, then.

I continue to be very psyched about RethinkDB - looks like an awesome product coming together nicely. As a boring non-cutting-edge, non-expert Rails person, any word on projects a la Mongoid to give a nice ActiveRecord-style ODM to guys like us? Would LOVE to be able to play with Rethink in place of Mongo. (Also, as an aside, if I were about 3 years more advanced in my ruby skills I'd totally volunteer to start that…

There is a Python ORM already ( https://github.com/nviennot/nobrainer ) but no Ruby one yet. I suspect it would be pretty easy to port Mongoid to rethink, so I wouldn't be surprised if a port pops up soon. Thanks for your interest -- we'd really love to get everything out ASAP, but the team has limited resources and we have some more low-hanging fruit to take care of first.

The link above is to Ruby ORM "nobrainer", may be edit your comment to clarify.

No Python ORM :-(

Could you make a RethionkDB Heroku Add-On ? I would definitely try it out then.

Noted -- we'll try to get that up soon.

Heroku Add-Ons are essentially hosted services, just with an automated billing tie-up with Heroku.

What the other comment-er is asking for is a hosted instance.

I really like RethinkDB, but the lack of a driver for JVM languages (Java, Scala, etc.) is a showstopper for me. I read that you're revamping your driver architecture and am anxiously looking forward to a JVM driver (more than willing to write a Scala-friendly wrapper - let me know if you're interested).

Thanks -- helping with a Scala wrapper would be great. Only a few weeks left until the new API is out. I wish we got it right on the first release, but hey, better late than never (there was a lot we learned from the first version).
