I can't help but feel that those people were using Ubuntu expecting it to be something that it was never intended to be. To be surprised at evolutionary changes which shed the aesthetic of competing distributions and introduce simpler, more

None whatsoever apart from to say that it's acceptably fast for whatever data set I happen to throw at it. Another poster here mentioned in an email that he'd tried it against arrays of ~50000 object structures and it was fine.

Good utility, but I had a few specific itches to scratch with SpahQL: * Declarative syntax for selections, such that selection queries may be handed between implementations in other languages * Imperative syntax for updates, such that updat

That's a pretty interesting idea, and I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Sure - Spah is intended to act as the V in your MVC. I'd probably just use Express for the C and Mongoose or similar for the M. I find that stitching my own framework from quality open source components gives me a bit more flexibility than

Thanks for mentioning that - Have to say, it's a work in progress. The query language for JSON (called SpahQL) is done, but I'm currently working on the document runner. See the readme for how it's meant to turn out.
