@skadi the it world would be much better if more people started to read up on classic algorithms. so many problems are solved, but the solutions are ignored :/

just look at the glorious victory relational databases are, they are the product of decades of research. still people use "NoSQL" for _everything_ now. i'm sure they have their place, we have things like berkeleydb and LDAP after all, but it's a very specific set of problems where they are a good solution. almost everything can be mapped to relational databases, even quite performant (like closure trees).
