>From a quick look at the website and the two or three posts on his weblog about differences between Couch and Raven, I don't see much of a material difference. The differences all seem relatively superficial. I'm not sure what on-disk structure it uses, though, or if it tries to keep things in memory; I suppose those are things that matter, but I couldn't easily find them on the website. There seems to be less emphasis on scaling across nodes than in CouchDB, and it seems to rely heavily on LINQ (and favor other things from the .NET technology space). Given CouchDB's community, it seems to me like Raven would only be interesting if you are into .NET technology already, and even then I don't really see anything that would make me want to use it over Couch.
