Turso is rewriting SQLite in Rust (Interview)

So one of the areas, for example, the SQLite is really bad at is schema changes. You can make schema changes, but you cannot alter the type of a column. There's all sorts of limitations like that, which is something, by the way, that we made better in LibSQL. So LibSQL does better schema changes than SQLite, but it's not better enough. Same story, because we were limited in what we can do.
