Yeah, would love to hear what the actual use cases are in-mind here. The closest thing I can think of is a high-growth startup that realizes they really need to get off MongoDB and get strong transactional support, so does this thing even support transactions? But again, you still need to migrate data, so probably will be best to just migrate directly to a pg driver.

Author here. I like the Mongo query interface so I originally wrote some of the conversion code for my API framework called expressa. Then I created this project largely to see if it were possible. I'm not really sure how this will be useful. Migrating data should be relatively easy with Mongo's db.copyDatabase() since it thinks it's just copying from one Mongo to another.
