While people seem to mostly tinker with the name in the comments I'd like to say that this looks like a really interesting project!

Would you mind to give us a little more background with regards to how this has been initiated, what your motivation was to write something new?

Given that you have an interesting vita (https://www.linkedin.com/in/haifengli) and a lot of people are interested in the graph database space I'd assume that people what be interested in your take on: The graph landscape, why for example haven't you joined the effort of Neo4j, ArangoDB, Titan and the likes. Is Unicorn already older than these systems? Why have you decided to open source now? Why is this linking to a fork originating at ADP while you are obviously a member of ADP and what is ADP about? Questions over questions which IMHO should be answered so that people like myself, who are impressed by your work, get a better chance where this massive effort comes from to better estimate how long this is going to stay around.

However: Thanks for open sourcing, posting and giving us a chance to play around with this...

Ok, doing a little research about ADP I realize that this is quite a large company. Sorry, I didn't knew it (am from Germany). But this would make it even more interesting how unicorn is used at ADP and if this already is a reference with regards to the scale of larger installations of Unicorn.
