Developer Tooling and Infrastructure

Developers are exploring alternatives to mainstream code hosting, with some for platforms like Codeberg or opting for self-hosted solutions. This shift signals a growing desire for more control and privacy in development workflows. Separately, a Rust implementation of Postgre SQL has now passed 100% of the original project's regression tests, suggesting potential for alternative database implementations.
