The article was stripped of all nuance and then injected with confusing bits. e.g.
>NoSQL will never die, but it will eventually get marginalized, like how Rails was marginalized by NoSQL
What? How was Rails marginalized by NoSQL?
Also, it's nice to see the whole BerkeleyDB-ish/key-value sector of the data storage world suddenly exploding with innovation. There's a lot of dogma on both sides of the NoSQL argument (and the name "NoSQL" doesn't help), but some of the many NoSQL tools look as though they'll be pretty useful. Cassandra and MongoDB especially. And big companies getting behind the growth of new tools is never a bad thing.
