A few things to note:
- Prisma 1 was a completely independent server and Prisma 2 was most likely started as a rewrite of Prisma 1 so it followed the same approach
- This indirection will be removed if someone can finally land a Rust binding to NAPI (looking at you Neon binding people)
- Prisma plans to support multiple languages thus it makes sense to have an agnostic engine
- This not far from having a PG engine coded in C and interfacing with like like most libraries do anyway, javascript is just too slow for this kind of stuff
