Turso, a database solutions developer, is re-implementing SQLite in Rust to introduce features like asynchronous I/O and enhanced memory safety. The project, codenamed Limbo, aims for full compatibility with SQLite and leverages Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) for reliability. Limbo uses io_uring for high-performance I/O and supports compilation to WebAssembly (WASM). Although not necessarily faster than SQLite, Limbo has demonstrated good performance early in its development.
