    Is zig lang stable enough now to start basing real projects on it?

    I mean no offense but a billionaires vanity terminal and a database with an anime bug mascot are a bit different than a redis alternative

    Is software not real software if it's written by a billionaire? What is it about the bug mascot that detracts from the database's legitimacy?

    Good point, the database written in Zig with a bug mascot tells us nothing about writing a database in Zig without a bug mascot

    If all you know about Tigerbeetle is the mascot you should probably take another look before judging. Some very interesting db tech.

    What's the problem with the mascot? PostgreSQL has an elephant and MySQL a dolphin. Is the bug too detailed for database software?

    Why would we want a literal BUG as a mascot?? /s
