In the same area, I am tracking the Rust rewrite of sqlite by Turso [1]. The big advantage is the file format compatibility.

It's not a rewrite of SQLite in Rust.

It's an entirely new project that happens to have some compatibility with one of the popular SQL databases, namely SQLite.

From the devs themselves[0]:

>Our goal is to build a reimplementation of SQLite from scratch, fully compatible at the language and file format level, with the same or higher reliability SQLite is known for, but with full memory safety and on a new, modern architecture.

And they call it rewrite in a recent followup post[1].
