Apache is a huge OSS not only for Java it is for everything. Im using CouchDB with Erlang and I would like to see more projects like this from Apache. Java is not anymore the panacea, Others tools and languages will emerge. Sorry for Oracle but they got Java to late and they want to Java become propretary after all this 10 years of effort for Java survival cause they wave of OSS and dynamic languages. Long live Java but it is time for relax with Apache CouchDB.
