Mike @ RethinkDB here. Great feedback-- while we've been a bit behind in rolling out releases to other distros and languages, we've been delighted to see the community pick up our slack:

- Our new build system has people successfully compiling from source and building community packages for CentOS, Slackware, Gentoo, Arch, and lots of other distros.

- One intrepid soul is porting RethinkDB to FreeBSD, where it builds successfully (almost ready to merge in): https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/pull/688

- We've seen an enormous number of client drivers for different languages pop up in a short time, with some impressive collaboration:

    * rethink-net (C#/.NET): https://github.com/mfenniak/rethinkdb-net

    * php-rql (PHP): https://github.com/danielmewes/php-rql
    
    * rethinkgo (Go): https://github.com/christopherhesse/rethinkgo
    
    * cl-rethinkdb (Common Lisp): https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-rethinkdb
    
    * haskell-rethinkdb (Haskell): https://github.com/atnnn/haskell-rethinkdb
    
    * lethink (Erlang): https://github.com/taybin/lethink
    
    * librethinkdb (C): https://github.com/unbit/librethinkdb
    
    * Lots of emerging efforts for Java, Perl, and other languages.
It's great to see people passionate about bringing our project to other platforms / distros, and we're doing whatever we can to support them. If anyone's interested in a similar project, shoot me an email at mike [at] rethinkdb.com
