It tries well, but then introduces "lifetimes" in first paragraph, and does not explain it further.

GPT-"""5.2""" is out for what, half an hour? And then there are 3 astroturfed comments (from @mrpdaemon, @speajus @shaohua) from within 10 minutes before my post.

Hey, would you happen to know if/when D1 can get support for ICU (https://sqlite.org/src/dir/ext/icu) and transactions?

Transactions are supported in Durable Objects. In fact, with DO you are interacting with the SQLite database locally and synchronously, so transactions are essentially free with no possibility of conflicts and no worry about blocking other queries.

Extensions are easy to enable, file a bug on https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd . (Though this one might be trickier than most as we might have to do some build engineering.)

Re DO - I am definitely not rewriting my web wasm rust-sqlx app to use DO.

Re filing an issue - sounds straightforward, will do!

You can run your wasm app in a DO, same as you run it in a Worker.

Without evaluating it thoroughly and judging just from description - I really hope this ends up open-sourced - will help drastically to many good-intent parties.

Will this help me file german taxes?

Spoken like a true American.

How about running stuff in wine/proton?

It doesn't. Intuit does kludgy IPC things related to report generation and accessing the internal database server. It's fragile even on Windows.

Fortunately I can easily run a herd of Windows VMs on a single server without much trouble.

Time to register a new domain with snarky name for campaigning activism.

Re last sentence: not always.

Americans hate this one little trick...
