About ruuda/noblit
Noblit is an embeddable append-only database written in Rust that stores immutable entity-attribute-value tuples. The database records a complete history of all assertions and retractions, where retractions are themselves recorded as new facts rather than destructive deletes. This design allows any historical state of the database to be reproduced, making the full history queryable and accessible as a first-class feature of the system.
The project includes documentation covering its architecture and building instructions, along with example queries demonstrating its use in scenarios like film databases and bug trackers. The codebase is pre-alpha and explicitly marked as a toy project, with the author noting that much of the current documentation describes hypothetical features still under development.
