🔗 Deep dive into Turso, the "SQLite rewrite in Rust"

I love Rust and I love SQLite, so you can imagine that I was pretty excited when I learned that "SQLite was being rewritten in Rust": Turso.

SQLite is probably the most deployed database in the world, with dozens of databases on any of your devices and is probably one of the most reliable piece of software in existence, with 590 times more tests than code (I know that tests are code, it's to simplify): ~92,053,100 lines of tests vs ~155,800 lines of code.

Furthermore, there are SQLite bindings for virtually any programming language, so why would anybody want to rewrite it in Rust?
