Daniel @crabmusket.eurosky.social · 31/08/2026I'm keenly following Turso's VDBE work, in the hopes that we see a non-SQL relational database built on their "LLVM for databases". If they can provide a highly reliable foundation, we might see more innovation in the database frontend. turso.tech/blog/a-new-m...turso.techWe're building Postgres in Rust. Using the LLVM of databasesTurso is becoming the LLVM of databases: one modern, reliable Rust core with many SQL frontends. After rewriting SQLite, we are now building Postgres. 100 1

Daniel @crabmusket.eurosky.social · 20/08/2026I like this idea and the phrase for it: Practitioner Voice.
