I think this work is absolutely commendable, but at the end of the day it's a database written in Python with Rust extensions sprinkled here and there. Is 1.0

EdgeDB is built on top of Postgres. The performance critical bits are either Python compiled to C with Cython or Rust, so there's almost no Python overhead. We perform quite favorably in benchmarks, see our old blog post with some: https://www.edgedb.com/blog/edgedb-1-0-alpha-2#results https://www.edgedb.com/blog/edgedb-1-0-alpha-2#results > Is 1.0 your MVP? EdgeDB is ready for production and is light years ahead of its first technical preview MVP release published a few years ago.
