Limbo is an ambitious project aimed at reimagining SQLite, the widely-used embedded database, by rewriting it entirely in Rust.
This in-process OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) database engine is designed to maintain SQLite’s compatibility while introducing modern features and architecture.
The roadmap for Limbo includes:
While both Limbo and libSQL aim to evolve SQLite, their approaches differ. libSQL is a fork of SQLite with added features like replication and vector search.
In contrast, Limbo is a complete rewrite in Rust, offering memory safety and a modern architecture. Though not yet production-ready like libSQL, Limbo is evolving rapidly and may eventually replace it under the name “Turso”.
Limbo is open-source under the MIT license. Developers are encouraged to contribute via its GitHub repository.
Limbo represents a forward-looking evolution of SQLite, combining its reliability with modern programming paradigms.
Its asynchronous I/O support and planned features position it as a promising tool for developers seeking efficient and scalable database solutions.
