  Just about to decide between Mongo and Rethink. I know HN is not on good terms with Mongo but I'd like to have insights on...

  - Setup of a replica set: is it easier/faster than with Mongo (which I find complicated)?

  - Sharding: Easier than with Mongo?

  - Rethink's query language: Is it really better than Mongo's after you used it for some time?

  Happy to hear more insights if you know more noteworthy stuff and please no bashing of any of them. Just try to make an educated decision.

  Anyone got an insight into how well this is going? Compared to when the company was active, how fast is progress? Would you bet on Rethink in this day and age?

  I'm really happy to see progress again. Hopefully we'll see more... I appreciate everyone that worked to make this possible.

  side note: the node driver in npm still hasn't been re-published with the license type in the package.json, so doesn't show the license. Only noting as this can cause issues in some organizations.
