Too funny that I started my research on CouchDB + Ruby and find you've already begun :) Thanks for documenting your work! It seems to me like efforts to assimilate CouchDB into existing ORM idioms (ActiveRecord and DataMapper) are doing CouchDB---and developers who adopt the easy route---a disservice. At the end of all that effort to create an ActiveRecord-compatible interface, what has been accomplished? You can treat CouchDB like a relational database. So why not use a relational database to begin with? Seems like that method of going about things is going to leave a lot of the fundamentally unique capabilities of CouchDB on the table... Hi David!

your table is missing couch potato (github.com/langalex/couch_potato). it’s baed on couchrest, has a couchdb style interface, has automatic view creation, pretty good test suite and yes, you have to write javascript sometimes (whch imho is good)
