CouchDB is written in Erlang. Apple's developer agreement forbids you from running an interpreter in your app (this is the so-called "anti-Flash clause"). So, even if someone managed to get Erlang compiled in Objective C, you still couldn't use it. If someone made a native compiler for Erlang, you still can't use it because Apple requires apps to be written in one of only a few languages. I'm not sure if this holds true for frameworks (which CouchDB would be). Someone could probably make it a Cydia package though. Then apps could just talk to the running CouchDB daemon. But what apps would use CouchDB and not be on the Apple App Store? -- Keith Gable A+ Certified Professional Network+ Certified Professional Web Developer
