If you need a document database, you could also try Tokyo Cabinet with
its Tokyo Tyrant server which uses Lua as its UDF language (instead of
JS for CouchDB). I am really having fun with it. There is a Lua module
to communicate with it:

The network protocol is easy to understand so you could also write your own.
And there is a C library in case you want better performance.
