Thank you making a go driver, I've played with it a bit and the first thing that jumped out at me is the documents passed to and from the database use a special "gorethink" tag instead of the built-in "json" tags. I thought this was odd since rethinkdb is a JSON database.

Yeah this is because I encode from json string > interface{} > final data structure. This is so that I can process any psuedo-types such as times.

I am now looking to do this whole process in a much simpler way in the next release which will solve the issue mentioned by evmar. I think its also worth mentioning that both RethinkDB and my driver are not yet production ready but both projects are getting there.

Likely because some users may be consuming/outputting JSON in a different structure from how they are storing it.
