I really want to like MongoDB, I really do, but the query/update language completey negates any fun

Try doing any non trivial operation in a single db query (aka. efficiently) from a language that's not JavaScript if you really want to hate everyone and everything

I gave up on it bc mql is damn ugly

I have used it and seems to work well with python, especially working with binary storage it performs really well

Why the fuck do you *want* to like it. Document databases is a dud, it brings nothing to the table and it's just promoted by JavaScript enthusiasts who thinks schemas are scary.

Sidenote; you always need schemas to ensure maintainability and efficiency, even the mongodb developers know this... It's just the promoters who pretend like you don't. Once you start building schemas for mongodb you are always better off doing it in SQL instead.

It's pretty nice for some stuff like a chat history and logs. You know, stuff that you really won't be running difficult queries on and you just want to store. Can't see myself using it for other kind of data though.

@ars1 yeah

@ars1 yeah, but then you have to deploy mongodb and maintain it

MongoDB is way too 🦥 node orms are catching up. Can't understand why anyone would choose MongoDB
