alt Hacker NewsI really, really hope that Turso survives this, and doesn't become another "incredible journey". I'm excited about Turso as a technology, both as a better sqlite and as something theoretically capable of becoming an embeddable postgres-compatible database.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of technology killed by acquisitions...
For example, https://github.com/Mooncake-Labs/pg_mooncake
I have only ever interfaced with sqlite querying databases created by other applications so I'm not really super familiar with the application development side of it, but I've only ever heard praise of sqlite. Out of pure curiosity, what would a better sqlite look like, aside from postgres compatibility mentioned?
This is a really interesting idea. I had never considered this before.
This would allow you to write PostgreSQL queries that work against a flat file or a Postgres server. Am I understanding the potential benefit correctly?
I hear you Josh, and I don't blame you because this does happen a lot. All I can say is that everyone is excited about this, on both sides of the aisle. From our perspective we'll have resources now to turbocharge the development of Turso, and things will only get better from here.
