RethinkDB is pretty awesome. Its a blast working with it and the Python driver is quite well rewritten, imo.

As the author of PyRethinkORM for Python it was ridiculously easy to write compared to an ORM for say SQL which was a major selling point for using RethinkDB behind my last several projects.

I'm fairly excited about the ARM port as I've been wanting to use Rethink on a few projects on my BeagleBone White/Black. The new map/reduce changes are pretty cool too.

The python driver is cool (and PyRethinkORM was super handy!), but setting up the driver to use the optimized protobuf backend was a PITA.

Hey, sorry you (and everyone else) ran into this! This will go away in the next version (1.13), because we're removing the requirement for protobufs and supporting a pure json transport interface. It turns out to be both faster, easier to setup, and paradoxically more space efficient.

See https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1868 for more details.

Bit late on this (school gets the better of me most days), but thanks! I'm glad (and happy) that PyRethinkORM has been helpful to someone.
