Good luck for sure, but browsing their compatibility matrix, it looks like they are a LONG way off. By the looks of it, they have mostly read compatibility with little write capabilities (no alter table, for example).

That's fully in line with what they're announcing here. It's the announcement of a new project that has passed the prototyping stage, but one that has not reached the 1.0 stage.

  • correct, this is just the project being moved from fun personal side project from the company's CTO to an experimental stage as a company project.

    There isn't a long term roadmap, or anything like that. I got pretty excited when I saw the results, though. It's less about the number of github stars - who the hell cares about those - but the contributors. Limbo already has a very nice list of contributors, which led me to believe there is something here!

  • And it never will

    The first 90% is easy, it's the second 90% that is very hard.

    • dunno, we rewrote a database before, much larger and harder than sqlite, and it was pretty successful.

      In my experience the 10% that doesn't get done is the 10% that people don't care too much about it anyway.
