stutter VS pg-mem

I finally started to take the time to develop the parser and data types for "stutter" [1], a spoken programming language idea I had for a while now.

The underlying idea is that this language is absolutely syntax clutter free and uses grammar similar to how sentences are built, so that it can be predicted and recognized much easier in noisy environments whilst being a programming language that is made for dictation (instead of typing).

I don't want this to be an esoteric idea, so I'm also experimenting a bit with the use case of embedding it ib my browser stealth [2] in order to automate and schedule web scraping tasks.

I've used pgmem https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem for the last couple of years for the same thing.

I was wondering the other day how to classify tests that use a test double like pg-mem, which isn't a mock but isn't the Dockerized test DB either :

In my case, I use TypeORM with PostgreSQL, and there's pg-mem to run an instance in memory, it supports most of the common functionality of PostgreSQL but you will need to do some adjustment to your code to be within the limits.

Postgres in the browser is possible through pg-mem: "pg-mem is an experimental in-memory emulation of a postgres database" but it also suffers from no persistence. If you can persist to a file somewhere then read it in on startup (and if your local data isn't huge) this might work.

Dont get me wrong: I am trying to contribute to opensource as well, so I get that supporting small projects can be demanding. There's nothing wrong in not spending your weekends on OS. But not asking for help, nor specifying that a project is unmaintained, nor even answering issues & pull requests for years feels just wrong.

Okay, I had a bit of spare time,I've implemented that, and it is now available with [email protected]

To get a glimpse of what I'm talking about, you can clone this repo and follow "Development" instructions (by the way this is a small OS lib I maintain, I wrote about it here)
