I don't know if I should consider this "the easiest database ever" or "gun is not a database" (from the FAQ). Github says "a distributed, embedded, graph database engine".
I think some clarification around the marketing could do a world of good.

What I'm trying to get across is that it is the easiest database because it is not your traditional master-slave database, and it doesn't require maintaining any database process. It is indeed just a cache, but it has all the benefits of a database.
We're going to be adding more storage engines though! Hopefully building an open source S3 that uses fancy algorithms to store on disk and on peers. However I don't know that stuff, somebody else is doing it (or I'm hiring - we're funded!).
So TBH, I kinda have to try doing the hypemachine thing to get the word out. :( Does that make me evil?
