I began using python as a way to "mock" out the overall design; intending to re-implement it in rust. The main reasoning for using python: was the ability to focus on "high-level" concepts and speed of tinkering. This implements a single process, single thread, single connection database- so performance and low-level concurrency control were not explicit goals or really optimized for. For those (real-live concerns) rust or C++ are much better; but also come with their set of complexities.
