PostgreSQL 9.3 adds functions for accessing JSON data without having to use plv8js.

Yeah but since it's just being added, it precludes "NoSQL guys" having built upon it, which is the original complaint.

Another intepretation of zapov's comment is that it's a shame the NoSQL projects didn't try achieving their goals by building postgres extensions (or even adding new features).

A reasonable question. MongoDB could have focused their energies on really good JSON support in postgres and making postgres sharding easier.

An interesting interpretation, which I had not considered. Thank you.
