mentat

There is (now unmaintained) project called Mentat [0] from Mozilla. [0] https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

Mozilla was working on the opposite, a Datalog of SQLite, with Mentat, now abandoned: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat Strikes me as a basically sound idea and it would be lovely if someone picked up the ball.

mentat was archived by mozilla back in 2017, but there are a bunch of forks. Because github is dumb and has a terrible interface for exploring forks [0], I used the Active GitHub Forks tool [1] that helped to find: qpdb/mentat [2] seems to be the largest (+131 commits) and most recently modified (May this year) fork of mozilla/mentat. [0]: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/network/members - Seriously, how am I supposed to use this? Hundreds of entries, but no counts for stars, contributors, or commits, no details about recent commits. Just click every one?

Obligatory link to Project Mentat: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat No longer actively maintained, but maybe a nice starting point for hacking on your dream!

You might be interested in the now defunct Mentat project from Mozilla. They made an EAV store with syncing on top of sqlite. It ran datalog queries by translating them into sql. https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

There is datascript, which has a foss implementation of datascript (with nice performance) https://github.com/tonsky/datascript And this (deprecated) project, that translate datalog to SQL(lite) https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

There was https://github.com/PumpkinDB/PumpkinDB but it seems dead :( Same with https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/ https://github.com/indradb/indradb is a newer db in alpha. https://github.com/spacejam/sled is also in alpha but is being actively developed.

Yes, Datomic is the killer app for Clojure [^1]. Have a look at Datascript[^2] and Mozilla's Mentat[^3], which is basically an embedded Datomic in Rust. Hickey's Spec-ulation keynote is probably his most controversial talk, but it finally swayed me toward dynamic typing for growing large systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk The Clojure build ecosystem is tough. Ten years ago, I could not have wrangled Clojure with my skillset - it's a stallion. We early adopters are masochists, but we endure the pain for early advantages, like a stable JavaScript target, immutable filesets and hot-reloading way before anyone else had it. Is it worth it? Only if it pays off. I think ClojureScript and Datomic are starting to pay off, but it's not obvious for who - certainly not very ever organisation. React Native? I tore my hair out having

Having recently been involved in trademarking some company assets, it seems that the rule of thumb is that it's ok to use a name if it's not already taken by a competing company or service. This is also particular to a region. Finding a good name that works across the world is a headache. There will be tons of overlap in open source software, always. No point in getting upset about it. Most of the time, the purpose of the software is completely different. That being said, I think this is a good rule of thumb out of courtesy and good judgement, even if trademarks are not involved. It just leads to dilution of both brands/projects, if they are similar enough in what they do. For this, I'm only aware of Mozilla's Project Mentat [1], but no problem there. 1: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

We need more open source datalog implementations with disk based storage. I have my hopes now on Mozilla's Mentat [1], but it seems to still have quite some way to go, and also I wouldn't mind something similar implemented in Go too ... At least something simple, allowing to start working with the datalog paradigm for expressing logic and views. [1] https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

Nice with more developments in embedded databases! Would be interesting with a comparison with mentat [1]. Do you plan to support any query langauge such as datalog, like mentat? [1] https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

For those who may have missed it, Mozilla is working on Datalog knowledge store backed by SQLite called Project Mentat [1] (also written in Rust). Announcement and rationale written by one of its devs can be found here [2]. Also previous HN discussion is located here [3].
