I fear the only people who can do this properly are currently wrapped up
in shipping 2.0 and I’d like to not distract them from that.

The tl;dr here is what I hinted at in my earlier mail: couchjs uses a
fork-per-concurrent-request model. This only works with very low volume
applications unless you have unlimited hardware, and that’s not something
that fits in the philosophy of CouchDB where things work with low volume
requests as well as high volume requests. And even if we could get a better
pre-fork model, we still are in a synchronous execution mode of an async
language, and before we custom-fix all that, we might as well use something
that already exists, update our protocols (details in the GSoC submission
about rewriting the view server protocol that I wrote earlier this year).

To make this better, I repeatedly proposed switching our JS stack to that
other JS stack that has become popular in the past five years, but I’ve
gotten flak for that as well. For now, I’ve concluded that shipping 2.0
is the one thing we need to care about and it seems that most people here
agree, and most end-users too. Imagine all the PouchDB users rejoicing of
2.0 being available with _bulk_get/_revs, alone!

If you’d like a first-hand account what kind of things we’d enable there,
look no further than here, where CouchDB/PouchDB helped fight Ebola:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sLjWlWvCsc

Let’s not get bogged down, again, by a niche-feature set that not a lot
of people care about.

To do any project you need a plan, time and people to do it with.
We have neither, except maybe some people who want to work with it,
but to come up with a plan, we’d have to take time away from people
who are shipping 2.0 (like you), and I wouldn’t like to see 2.0 get
delayed another year because we go out on a tangent here.

We absolutely don’t have to please everyone, and the biggest failing
we’ve had is not shipping 2.0 last year, so let’s rally together and
get that out the door and then see what’s left.

If the people who want to work on this want to work on this now, I
repeat that I’m happy to help set up a safe space for them, so we can
ship 2.0.

Best
Jan
