What's the deal with MongoDB and the node.js community? I don't find non relational databases that enticing and there are javascript drivers for postgres [1].

Probably because mongoose is so well written, it feels inferior to use another kind of ORM library. I'm guessing nobody has written something as good as the activerecord library in the ruby world for node.

I just found node-postgres and it looks okay. Active development and issues look like they're not major. Do you have any experience with it?

EDIT:

Whoops, its clearly just a client and not an ORM. How about

instead?
