Wow, this fits perfectly into a project I am currently working on. I love how I think of problems and miraculously the solution appear on Hacker News. Not the first time this has happened.
i've contributed bits & pieces to mongoengine, and plan on using it in production next month. its a very well-designed, well-implemented, and actively growing ORM for mongodb, and definitely worth checking out.<p>and when i say "actively growing", i don't mean it in a derogatory way.<p>if you're using python and mongo, mongoengine is worth your attention.
<i>ORM-like</i><p>I'm trying to understand why there would be any ORM connotation since one of the big points of NoSQL is that there are no object to relation mappings as such in the first place.<p>Perhaps I am missing something.<p>[edited] Nothing against the project. I actually think its great.
I hadn't read up on MongoDB. For those interested, here are some projects using it: <a href="http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments" rel="nofollow">http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments</a>
