Even if additional features are planned this should be the basic structure. What distinguishes us from the others is that we use Rust. A memory-safe programming language without garbage collection or reference counting but which uses the ownership system.</p> <h2> Contribute </h2> <p>Since Cliff is a relatively new project and there is no working prototype yet and a DBMS is not a small project either, we are urgently looking for support. </p> <p>Furthermore you have the advantage that a pull request will be counted to the Hacktoberfest this month. </p> <h3> What if I do not know Rust? </h3> <p>This is not a problem. We need people who maintain the documentation or design the website and addons like the webinterface with Svelte. </p> <h2> Links </h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/cliff-db/cliff">GitHub Repository</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/cliff-db/webinterface">GitHub Repository of Webinterface Addon</a></li> </ul> <p>Kind regards,<br> Robin Lindner<br> <em>The initiator of the cliff project</em></p> database sql rust hacktoberfest
