Yesterday I discovered CouchDB. It’s a little early, but I want to give people who are interested some links to have a look at, if they are interested.
To play with it, have a look at the many APIs in practically any language on the wiki. Things in my mind while looking at CouchDB: is this the same transition in the database space as dynamic typing is to static typing in programming language space? Should Amazon’s SimpleDB really be this? And: how the hell can this scale?
Update: a comparison between SimpleDB and CouchDB.

You’re a little late to the party!
Yes, this is what SimpleDB should have been. And it fits perfectly the trend towards more dynamic programming. And, it scales because it’s all shared-nothing Erlang processes going at it all at the same time. Replication is built-in IIRC, so you can easily scale to multiple machines.
I know I’m a bit late, but then again, not too late
I think I saw it mentioned before and checked out the website, but on the surface it seemed rather uninteresting — lord, was I wrong.
