PouchDB evolved very quickly in the past few years, so it’s worth another look. It seems to have stalled at the 7.0 version for close to the past year, but it’s a solid toolset with a nice API to interact with CouchDB.
Running PouchDB in Node.js provides that same API on the server side to interact CouchDB. I wrote my comments feature in Perl because you have to restrict what users can do with that feature. It could be done just as easily, or maybe even easier, using JS and Node running on the server side and when you look at it that way there’s very little difference between using Perl or Python or JS, except that most of the Perl modules on CPAN for CouchDB are pretty old and crappy, and PouchDB is pretty sweet and easy. I’ve just not mess with Node.js much, and I already know a bit of Perl.
