I don't know much about Mongo, though, I sort of stopped bothering to research it when I got the impression that it would be a royal pain to use.

I'd be very interested to hear more about your scenario and how CouchDB was such a perfect fit (or why MongoDB would not be as perfect). I am tracking quite a few use cases for NoSQL based solutions on MyNoSQL: http://nosql.mypopescu.com and I hope to add your story there soon. :- alex This sounds like a very warm testimonial for CouchDB.

From what I can tell, Object Lisp also does differential inheritance. The two biggest differences I've noticed so far, though, are: 1. Object Lisp is singly-dispatched -- you declare methods (objfuns) on single existing objects. Sheeple does multiple dispatch with semantics like CLOS. 2. OL keeps 'class' objects in the same namespace, apparently in dynamic variables? Sheeple has a separate namespace for all 'class' objects (which are called protos). Sheeple itself doesn't make a distinction between the objects themselves, and the defproto form is there mostly for how convenient it is for lisp-style interactive development (you can re-evaluate the form, and the object is mutated while retaining identity). I'm not sure exactly how defobject works. Those seem to be the two most obvious differences. I'm sure digging in would oust more stuff. http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.06/06.08/PearlLisp/index.html Is an interesting overview of Object Lisp.

I just thought there should also be mention of applications using Sheeple: Sykosomatic -- Sykobot -- See for yourself: Sheeple works! Sykoedit: This doesn't sound astroturfy at -all-, amirite? This is all very interesting… I just thought there should also be mention of applications using Sheeple:
