Re: Postgres.js driver - for Node.js

Thanks a lot Jonathan.

It would make sense to be a bit more critical about the drivers mentioned in the documentation, but I suppose that requires someone with knowledge of each language to make a proper assessment. I'd be happy to answer any questions with regards to Postgres.js if you do revisit it at some point.

By the way, I gotta say, it was an absolute pleasure implementing the PostgreSQL protocol, the documentation was fantastic, and answered all the questions I had along the way.

Thanks

Rasmus Porsager.
