Abandoned for a new project. Kuzu is Japanese for unwanted/useless scraps or garbage, so I suppose it's still living up to its name.

For anyone who's curious—the project was originally named after the Sumerian word for "wisdom"[1].

With property graphs being adopting in the SQL standard, this isn’t surprising.

The fact that GQL is now supported by some of the relational Database, doesn't mean they'll become an alternative to native Graph Databases.

Yeah I guess it’s like saying that relational DBs supporting native JSON type meant the end of NoSQL DBs.

Oh too bad. Small fast embedded graph DBs are rare. Any good alternatives?

There used to be a similarly names one called CozoDB[0] which was pretty awesome but it looks like its development significantly slowed down.

Wow the Japanese were pretty savage back then.

It pretty much did except for very specific use cases
