Oh bummer. I was really excited about pgrust but AGPL is a dealbreaker. Not for me personally, but it will never see wide adoption because it’s a banned license in most corporate environments. Lack of path to wide adoption means it’s dead in the water.

It’s weird because those who actually care about optimized pg gains are most likely large corporate customers. Why make a product targeting them and license it in such a way they’ll never use it?

This also hard blocks upstreaming any beneficial features into core Postgres.

If it is indeed 300* faster, I'm sure more rational corporations will rethink their license policy or be left in the dust.
