pgrust seems to have good momentum. AGPL is an odd license for a non web project. Postgres is MIT-like, and that drove it's adoption.

Have pgrust folks reconsidered this? Else, IMO we can have an independant rust port of pgrust, which can be MIT, which will garner more attention.

2 commits in the repo both generated by claude. This is AI slop, I wonder where you see good momentum?

main indeed has two commits, but it clearly states the location of the rest of the commits, so I wouldn't be critical of main itself.

  hey claude, do a breakthrough
  You can find the actual git history at the v0.2 github tag.

Now we see https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/tree/v0.2 has almost 6000 commits in it, with the very first one on 2026-07-02. That's a lot of token momentum!

It's easy to claim AI slop nowadays, but you should still mistrust-but-verify.
