If you have a `&str` you would need to allocate and copy the string just
to pass a reference to it again. Same goes if you have a slice of bytes.
In all (most?) situations, that is not what you want and sometimes
impossible to satisfy. Example:
```rs
impl From<&str> for Value<'_> {
fn from(value: &str) -> Self {
Self::Text(&value.to_owned())
}
}
```
Here, there is no way to pass a reference to a `String` without making
the lifetime `'static`, since the string has to be dropped by the end of
the function or leaked. I would consider this a anti-pattern. There is
no reason to keep a shared reference to a owned value. (And can't think
of any situation where you would need such thing)
Now, this is possible:
```rs
impl<'a> From<&'a str> for Value<'a> {
fn from(value: &'a str) -> Self {
Self::Text(value)
}
}
```

Limbo
Limbo is a work-in-progress, in-process OLTP database management system, compatible with SQLite.
Features
Limbo is an in-process OLTP database engine library that has:
- Asynchronous I/O support on Linux with
io_uring - SQLite compatibility [doc] for SQL dialect, file formats, and the C API
- Language bindings for JavaScript/WebAssembly, Rust, Go, Python, and Java
- OS support for Linux, macOS, and Windows
Getting Started
💻 Command Line
You can install the latest limbo release with:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
https://github.com/tursodatabase/limbo/releases/latest/download/limbo-installer.sh | sh
Then launch the shell to execute SQL statements:
Limbo
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database
limbo> CREATE TABLE users (id INT PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT);
limbo> INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'alice');
limbo> INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, 'bob');
limbo> SELECT * FROM users;
1|alice
2|bob
You can also build and run the latest development version with:
cargo run
✨ JavaScript (wip)
Installation:
npm i limbo-wasm
Example usage:
import { Database } from 'limbo-wasm';
const db = new Database('sqlite.db');
const stmt = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users');
const users = stmt.all();
console.log(users);
🐍 Python (wip)
pip install pylimbo
Example usage:
import limbo
con = limbo.connect("sqlite.db")
cur = con.cursor()
res = cur.execute("SELECT * FROM users")
print(res.fetchone())

FAQ
How is Limbo different from libSQL?
Limbo is a research project to build a SQLite compatible in-process database in Rust with native async support. The libSQL project, on the other hand, is an open source, open contribution fork of SQLite, with focus on production features such as replication, backups, encryption, and so on. There is no hard dependency between the two projects. Of course, if Limbo becomes widely successful, we might consider merging with libSQL, but that is something that will be decided in the future.
