Something like that could be very useful for simple views, although the RFC is quite vague on edge cases, ie how would you implement something like if (doc.type == "foo") emit(doc.bar, doc.baz) with JSON pointer. Speaking of JSON pointer, looks like Jan beat us to the punch ;-) https://github.com/janl/erl-jsonpointer Filippo, when you say DDL, how feature-ful are you envisioning? I think the big idea is to get _something_ that functions inside the Erlang VM securely and efficiently. -Russell
