Does Kivik aim to become UnQL-alternative for any database independent of its design?
Kivik aims to provide a pluggable, fully-functional driver for Go programs interacting with CouchDB, and to provide tooling to facilitate the testing, automation, and maintenance of apps using CouchDB. I have no personal goals relating to UnQL. That doesn't mean it couldn't be done if someone has the desire to do it.
It should be possible to create a UnQL (or even SQL) frontend for Kivik. It's just a matter of someone taking the time to design the spec, and implement it. If you, or someone else, wants to undertake such a project, I'm happy to provide whatever support I can, when it comes to interacting with Kivik. And I'd love to link to the project once it's released.
