Honestly I don't see the point. SQLite exist and does what it is supposed to do.
I don't see the "powering AI agents in real time, streaming analytics at the edge and intelligent systems that adapt instantly to changing data — remains just out of reach with traditional SQLite’s limitations". And "This makes it hard to port it to environments like web browsers." is known to be not true as some browsers do use SQLite.
I don't see the big need for CDC in an embedded database either.
The argument about write performance is fair enough. But I don't see solving that require a rewrite in Rust.
