To compete with MongoDB for Node crowd, you need an ORM similar to Mongoose. It seems that Node users now default to MongoDB in their stack, much like MySQL in LAMP.
For Golang, mgo http://labix.org/mgo is a quality implementation driver for MongoDB. Hopefully there is something similar for RethinkDB.
