Honest question, does MongoDB work?

Until recently, no. But apparently they got serious about making it work and now it actually does. See https://jepsen.io/analyses/mongodb-3-4-0-rc3 for verification.

That's Nostradamus-level crazytown. What next, PHP strongly enforcing a sound static type system with immutable defaults, GADTs and dependent types?

Congrats to the MongoDB team!

Too funny!

MongoDB is pretty average at absolutely everything.

It's fast to install on a dev machine though, lol.

For better or worse, many times UX is more important than functionality.
