I mean no offense but a billionaires vanity terminal and a database with an anime bug mascot are a bit different than a redis alternative

Good point, the database written in Zig with a bug mascot tells us nothing about writing a database in Zig without a bug mascot

im not sure i trust any hot takes from a person that doesn't know anything about anime

If all you know about Tigerbeetle is the mascot you should probably take another look before judging. Some very interesting db tech.

Tigerbeetle is one of the most interesting projects I've seen in recent memory

100% agree. Their algorithm for distributed consensus is pretty different than anything else in the market.

Is software not real software if it's written by a billionaire? What is it about the bug mascot that detracts from the database's legitimacy?

What's the problem with the mascot? PostgreSQL has an elephant and MySQL a dolphin. Is the bug too detailed for database software?
