Stoolap: High-performance embedded SQL database in pure Rust

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].

They may call it all they want. It's been common between some Rust developers to steal valor by highjacking the name of original project for their own fun rewrites.

Turso a third party project that has nothing to do with SQLite.

Ah, it was about the usage of rewrite by such third-party efforts. In this case, yes, the original reimplementation (could have also call it alternative) wording is probably better. Was confused at the "happens to have some compatibility" part because the project was started with that intent so it wasn't a coincidence.
