Reactions on ubuntu one dropping couchdb?
Hi,
I wonder that there's so few to no reaction about ubuntu one dropping CouchDB
and as a consequence also desktopcouch. I'm really sad about this, since I
really liked the idea of having my PIM data in CouchDB rather then in SQL
(default Akonadi store).
How do you think about this? Even if the ubuntu people were not able to scale
CouchDB, that doesn't seem to be a reason for me to also drop CouchDB on the
client. Is desktopcouch a sane concept that could be continued even without
Cloudera?
Maybe they just didn't want to have Erlang on the client?[1]

Interesting; this point echoes what I posted about yesterday:

I also agree with his points about Erlang, having spent part of the last five months trying to cram it into an iPhone with as little overhead as possible…

CouchDB works very well for the applications I am using it for, but I
would love to see an informed critique of how and why CouchDB was
unable to scale for Ubuntu.
