Really? When I don't want to think in databases and only on persisting my native types in my favorite programming language MongoDB is my choice. I use it only for experimenting, so I don't care about all those scalability issues.

Try Redis instead? Or rethinkdb (if you don't mind it being a bit new)?

No. The Redis interfaces doesn't abstract data types. For example Python types are quasi transparently interfaced with MongoDB.

Was your comment a little bit ironic?
