See the post I just sent. I have no reason to care about the language
here. It's not going to run in the same node. I'm not going to look at
it. And PostgreSQL is a much proven software, much more than Riak who's
had issues with the Erlang schedulers and more and is still young.

</I>
The need for partitioning comes a *lot* later for SQL databases. They
can deal with big amounts of data just fine. And Farwest is made for
small to medium applications, therefore the issue will likely never come
up until Farwest itself becomes the issue.

</I>
This is the first time I hear complaints about choosing PostgreSQL.
