CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution.

CouchDB provides a RESTful JSON API than can be accessed from any environment that allows HTTP requests. There are myriad third-party client libraries that make this even easier from your programming language of choice. CouchDB’s built in Web administration console speaks directly to the database using HTTP requests issued from your browser.

CouchDB is written in Erlang, a robust functional programming language ideal for building concurrent distributed systems. Erlang allows for a flexible design that is easily scalable and readily extensible.

Relax and prosper,
Noah

Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools. We wanted something that's simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with a language that's a joy to use.

New in Buildr 1.3.5:

• Added: Interactive shell (REPL) support
• Added: BeanShell as default shell for java projects, bsh is small and it's syntax provides the closest to an interpreted java. The BeanShell console includes a graphical class browser. Shell is named :bsh
• Added: Mandriva (urpmi) installation support (with help from Franck Villaume).
• Added: BUILDR-56 Download Scala artifacts if not available locally
• Added: BUILDR-163 cobertura:check (Marko Sibakov, Daniel Spiewak).
• Added: BUILDR-295 Eclipse task: make 'M2_REPO' repository variable configurable
• Added: BUILDR-300 Make Eclipse task more configurable (Antoine Toulme, Alex Boisvert)

• Change: Monkey-Patched FileUtils::sh on JRuby to use POSIX `system`
