There's nothing like we don't think badly of them. They clearly created something very successful. But the way Pekka and I always run open source communities and the way we always participated in open source communities, for us, this... this component of like being able to tap into the creativity of the community was always something very important.

And you have to put it in context as well, that Pekka and I grew up in the Linux kernel community, right? And a lot of people say this about SQLite, so SQLite has to, and with that, I disagree, SQLite being what it is, has to be kept as this very small thing, because that's the whole beauty of SQLite.

And again, I disagree with that because if you look at Linux, Linux started as this project that would only run on x86 computers and et cetera. And today it is an operating system that runs everywhere. It runs very well on the server, you know,

Pekka and I worked together in memory management for very big box machines, like how to make sure that when you have two terabytes of memory in 2010, which was a lot of memory back then, it's still a lot of memory today, but like those algorithms to manage memory don't take three minutes and hang up the system. It's a problem that doesn't happen in embedded devices.

And Linux still runs on embedded devices. So through this big community, you actually can create something that runs well everywhere and don't necessarily have to make those compromises. So we don't agree that SQLite has to be protected and has to be maintained by just a single individual to be the success it is. But look, who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm right.

We act based on what we believe. But we don't believe there is anything wrong with what they're doing. We just think that it could benefit with a different direction.

100%, and we will. And I want to clarify that now, because with LeapSQL, it became very clear to us in maybe a month that that was not going to happen. So with LibSQL, I joked about it today. We had this goal of replacing SQLite for 10 minutes because it's a dream, et cetera. It's obviously a big prize. It's obviously this big prize and et cetera.

As I wrote in my blog post, were we bummed about it? No, because we built a pretty successful business on top of LibSQL, which is today our company, Turso. So for us, it was it was this exercise of like if you heard the expression shoot for the stars, because even if you miss, you're going to hit the moon.

For us, it was like, yeah, you know, it turns out I don't think it's going to be possible for us to replace the light with the fork. But that's us hitting for the stars. We didn't hit the stars. We hit the moon. The moon's great. Again, we built a super great project. We're having fun.

Leap SQL brought something to SQLite that wasn't there, which was like the serverless, running this on serverless environments on the cloud platform, syncing databases. One of the things that we do with Torso is that you can sync your databases between different devices and backups and all of that. And this is going great. I mean, this is going fantastically for us. And so we were never...
