Python developer here. Here's my rant. I've been using OrientDB (one of the leading Graph databases) for the last few months; it's been a horrible experience to get it working with Python, as the official Python OrientDB driver is essentially a very thin wrapper around the binary protocol. Using Gremlin would actually be nice, and save me a lot of nasty queries, but it seems like there is no python ecosystem for it. The presentation mentions "Gremlin-Python". A quick Google search brings up these results: 1. "Bulbs" (http://bulbflow.com/download/) - it's a dead project, last commit being 10 months ago. Look at https://github.com/espeed/bulbs 2. "Gremlin-Python" - https://github.com/pokitdok/gremlin-python . Dead project (last commit 6 months ago), and requires one to install Jython. I would love to know if I've missed something - did anyo

It shouldn't take too much to update Bulbs/Neo4j to Neo4j 2.0 -- add the Gremlin Plugin on Neo4j Server (which isn't installed by default anymore) or swap out the Bulbs built-in Gremlin scripts for Cypher equivalents, if Cypher will let you do everything you need...

Hi Kamil - A database-backed blog enables you to easily integrate the content into your existing website -- for example, dynamically displaying the latest entry on the home page, and it makes it easy to style the blog with the site's existing templating system rather than maintaining a separate system. I wanted the benefits of a dynamic app, but I wasn't willing to exchange Emacs for a Web-based editor so I created a hybrid engine. I chose Neo4j because graphs are an elegant way of storing relational data. There are no tables to mess with and no joins (everything is explicitly joined). And if your blog's auth/commenting system uses data from the social graph, such as Facebook or Twitter, a graph database provides a clean way of storing the data. Also, I am the author of Bulbs (https://github.com/espeed/bulbs), a graph-database framework w

I took much of last year off to focus on learning the technologies needed to build the product for my startup -- graph databases was the big one, and during the time I built Bulbs (https://github.com/espeed/bulbs), a Python framework for graph databases like Neo4j Server. Eliminating all distractions has been key -- no side jobs, no girlfriends, no going out -- a period of complete focus. Working out and exercising has been critical though for keeping my energy level up and maintaining mental clarity.
