Author also discussing it on their Twitter [0]. I’m reserving judgement for now, but this has lots of potential usecases even apart from replacing postgres.

I don't know if you were being pedantic or confused, but turso is a sqlite3 remake in rust (with some additional features).

Maybe you could explain why you think it is not a remake, when it clearly is generally seen as one.

Because it's not a remake and not seen as one.

It's a product done by someone while claiming some level of compatibility with whatever they want to claim compatibility with.

It has nothing to do with SQLite or Postgres or whatever else's brand they will type in their docs.

They are even going to the extend of preserving SQLite footguns, so I am not sure what else would it be.

It's something else that claims some level of compatibility with SQLite.
