I would love that :-)

Yeah, it speeds up development, but that doesn't help much if 
Mongo swallows your data or messes up replication, or if your 
data by its nature simply does not fit a document store well.
I've found Postgres to be very reliable and also very fast in the 
past, and - in large part thanks to Vibe.d - I am using Mongo now 
in a test deployment instead of it. I don't feel comfortable at 
all in continuing to use it though, which is unfortunate, since 
the development speed with it is quite high.
