I am going to give CouchDB another look. I used to use it a lot, and experimented with BigCouch, but I didn't used to like JavaScript, so doing views, etc. was a pain. Now, I don't dislike JavaScript so much and CouchDB fits some use cases I have.

CouchDB supports writing views in Erlang, if you prefer that. It's also faster than Javascript, although it changes some of the ordering semantics of the resulting views.

I decided to write my views[1] in Parenscript[2]. Might not be for everybody, but it makes them fit a lot better in the rest of the application.
