I never claimed that my project in its current form is a drop-in replacement for Postgres or even SQLite. It still lacks many features that those databases have accumulated over decades of development by large communities.

It is not just an in-memory DB. All its data is persisted on disk and I made sure whenever I did a benchmark on any query; that I was doing an apples-to-apples comparison.

Even though the beta consists of a Windows executable; there is nothing Windows specific about it. It is built to be cross-platform and it has been tested on Linux. With my small team, we just maintain a single platform at the moment for simplicity sake.

We have not yet open-sourced the code as you pointed out; but we have considered it. But if everyone just wants to dismiss it out of hand because it fails to check some box and just focuses on what it can't do, instead of what it does well; then there might not be any point in doing so.
