This is a really cool set of articles, and while it’s not going to replace sqlite it’s fantastic to see the pieces needed to do sql with SQLite’s file format

SQLites alternative in rust is a thing though

    "alternative" implies that this is either on a comparable level of battle-testedness and feature completeness as sqlite, or that it solves problems that sqlite has, or that is delivers substantiable, or at least noticeable advantages over sqlite.

    So, which of these points apply?

      I don't think it implies any of that.

      I think it means you might use it in similar situations. Like when you want an in-memory database.

        No I might not. In these similar situations, I will use sqlite, unless someone can point out one of the items listed above as a reason to use something else.

    perhaps instead of `successor` you could say `rust fork` or `alternative`. Successor implies the original is dead or deprecated, or no longer going to be used, which is very far from the truth.
