This looks really interesting...but why WASM-only? Naively it seems like WASM-ification would be a 2nd step, after lib-ification.

Obviously missing something...

If I understand correctly, what this project does is take the actual postgresql sources, which are written in C, compile them to wasm and provide typescript wrappers. So you need the wasm to be able to use the C code from js/ts.

Yes. I would like to use the code as a library from something other than js/ts.

		You can use it in Rust if you like. I've used pglite through wasmer before. Also [pglite-oxide](https://lib.rs/crates/pglite-oxide) is pretty usable.

		Sounds you only need to create the APIs for calling into WASM if so, so as long as your language of choice can do that, you're good to go.

		So compile it and use it?

WASM means you only need to develop for one target run time. That's my guess as to why.

Yeah... I was super excited by this project when it was first announced--and would even use it from Wasm--but since it ONLY works in Wasm, that seemed way too niche.
