That would imply that a couch app is just a simple HTML5 apps. People tend to not use sometimes shows and lists, but this just because we are for now using an inefficient way to handle the javascript evaluation. This is something from the past and I don't want that we live in the past. At the boston summit it was the same reaction people think couchapps as something frozen that can't be improved. Imo the couchapp fs should represent the ddoc structure. So it will be easy to extend the features later. And improve the one that are inefficient right now. And I do think that couchapps should be more than simple and limited html5 apps. It's important imo to improve current features and add new one. For example having the possibility to use the couchapps at the server level. Just like redis script for example. etc. - benoît
