DUDE I was daydreaming about this the other day, but with postgres. Can I ask why you chose clickhouse? My idea was that every op could be an insert, and then the resulting state would be a transaction and logged? So you'd get basically logged cpu state? Idk cool stuff I'm pumped to dive in tonight.

> This emulator makes ClickHouse truly Turing complete. We are one step closer to running ClickHouse in ClickHouse.

Spencer is an engineer at ClickHouse, so it makes sense.
