Would be interested in strategic value add versus cedardb (although cedar is closed source in a way that at the moment I think may kill it)

#12The llvm of databases is not turso, it's datafusion.
Yes I assumed datafusion when I heard that phrase.

#14I'm already quite excited about Turso being SQLite-compatible, but adding many features on top. And when a feature is not directly compatible with SQLite (ie: you can't directly read the file with `sqlite3`, it's straightforward to convert). This is great because you know you'll always be able to continue working with that database. Even if Turso stopped working, it's still a valid SQLite database. A combination I wo…
Supporting Postgres is a good goal but honestly the real challenge is extensions. Would supporting Postgres wire compatibility guarantee any Postgres extension would also work? This is one of the problems with Aurora - it’s all well and good until you need an extension that isn’t on the blessed list

It would not, for obvious reasons.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't know if you were being pedantic or confused, but turso is a sqlite3 remake in rust (with some additional features).
turso is not an sqlite remake. at all
Maybe you could explain why you think it is not a remake, when it clearly is generally seen as one.

Care to elaborate? The reasons are not obvious

They are even going to the extend of preserving SQLite footguns, so I am not sure what else would it be.
