  I have a CLI tool (written in Python) called twitter-to-sqlite which imports Tweets into a SQLite database - it's a really fun source of data to play with: https://datasette.io/tools/twitter-to-sqlite

  The question that keeps bother us, what is the WASM perform impact compared to native SQLite ?

  I wrote a Postgres FDW in Go to query Twitter using SQL - https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/twitter

  (Steampipe is an open source CLI to query cloud APIs using SQL. No DB required!)

  Can this extend to rqlite?

  It would be pretty epic

  Cool but we’ve had in browser databases since ages. Things like indexedDb and WebSql. But I guess it’s a cool WebAssembly experiment nonetheless.
