    There is (now unmaintained) project called Mentat [0] from Mozilla.

    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?

    There are plenty of open source Datomic Inspired databases. Check out https://github.com/juji-io/datalevin and scroll down all the way down to “Alternatives”. There was even the beginning of a rust one by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat
  • Emacs team considering including SQLite
    7 projects | /r/emacs | 22 Dec 2021
    I think you might be slightly misreading things, from what you quoted it’s about the query language (sql vs Datalog) not the database engine, that would likely be SQLite in any case. Now whether grafting a Datalog query engine onto SQLite is a good idea is a different question (though it’s been done, eg https://github.com/mozilla/mentat), but we should all at least talk about the same thing :)

    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.
