toipe VS toydb

Can't check it out right now (no python at hand), but thought I'd mention toipe, which I stumbled upon a while ago.

Looks very similar to the recently announced 'toipe' https://github.com/Samyak2/toipe

for example, implement a terminal typing practice application like toipe.

Good idea. I have opened an issue for this - https://github.com/Samyak2/toipe/issues/19

This is great, but you might want to consider a different name. There's already a Rust project called ToyDB, and it's a distributed database with a Raft log, SQL, disk persistence, ACID transactions, etc. It's under active development (though the developer now works at Cockroach Labs), and has 5K stars on GitHub, so I think they have the right to the name.

Build something you’d like to learn about. Things I’ve considered replicating: A distributed database (see https://github.com/erikgrinaker/toydb), an interpreter (crafting interpreters is a good book), a Ray tracer (http://raytracerchallenge.com/), an RPC compiler and framework, a simpler neural network framework ( https://github.com/pjreddie/darknet)…

Hilariously, I was trying out ToyDB on the Lichee-RV recently. While it does compile and run the five-node example setup (and memory usage is surprisingly low, which is a plus considering the 0.5GB of RAM), performance is three orders of magnitude lower than on a desktop x86 PC. Some of that is due to just having a single core run 5 nodes, some is due to the lower clock speed and slower memory, and some is due to slower storage (SD card). I don't think that explains everything, so I may investigate that later.

Well I think if you could replicate this https://github.com/erikgrinaker/toydb anybody would hire you.
