My kids are navigating the ways of middle/high school: one is deep in ionic bonding in Chemistry, another one is grappling with graphing sine waves in Pre-Calculus.
I can explain these concepts to them with words, or I can scribble on a napkin (which I love doing), but some concepts just need to move. They need to be visualized. I could write a Python program or a D3.js visualization for every single problem, but that takes too long, even when done directly with “the big 4“.
I needed a way to say: “Show me a covalent bond in H₂O” and have the visualization write itself, test itself, run itself, and show me that interactive covalent bond moving step by step.
Great fit for a “Skill” I thought and built Salvador that can do this.

that's it.Most of the info in this article just reflects the rightful excitement form the author, but not in any way the best or the simplest way to do things. Just take it as "I love it, let me share" vs. "Clojure is better than..."
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Hazelcast solves similar problem that all of the valuations in the list: "storing and retrieving data". By the way, "file system" does it too (let's valuate it as well @ $3.6B).
As far as "enterprise support" in case of Mongo, it's like running a political campaign: nobody really knows "who" is inside, until "he" gets elected, and when "he" does, the "support" needs to make sure reality stays hidden, by white (and not so white) lies. And yes, MongoDB is great at "support", most OSS aren't.
So here it comes. It is only a VALUE if WE say it is. So here is what I say.
I value
* Redis @ $4.5B
* Datomic @ $4.5B
* Riak @ $3.2B
* Hazelcast @ $3.0B
* HBase @ $2.5B
* Spanner @ $2.1B
* Neo4j @ $2.0B
* MongoDB @ N/A
Congratulations to MongoDB sales and marketing team (really!). It is a tough job to sell a trojan horse to masses.в следующий раз (кстати с заглавной буквы можно начать) перед тем как насилывать свою клаву, лучше пойди на подкурсы русского или китайского или хотя бы того же английского.
очень не сложно оставлять мусорные комментарии, не относящиеся кстати к теме разговора, и называть себя викинг кодером. гораздо сложнее соответствовать своему имени, и "викинговать" архитектуру, код, мысли, философию создания.
если бы в интернете и/или на хакер ньюз была бы общая корзина для мусора, и можно было бы голосовать за вещи которые туда отправляются, можешь расчитывать на мой голос.
hey VikingCoder, I heard you are a fan of grammar? see above? grammar that.
