The github “is this dead” epitomizes rethinkdb to me:

“I wanted a task queue and wanted to build it on X”

Doesn’t matter that a job queue makes no sense on X. When X looks like it’s not active they build it on Y.

Neither X nor Y have any property that’d make it good for a job queue, but popularity contest drove adoption, not technical merit.
