I came across a Debian bug mentioning swithing to tkrzw. I hadn't heard of it, but seems like it's the successor to both Kyoto Cabinet and Tokyo Cabinet.https://dbmx.net/tkrzw/ [ironically, it looks like the Debian package of tkrzw is, itself, orphaned] Tkrzw _also_ doesn't seem to have had any commits since 2024, Would it make sense to add support for this (and, potentially, drop support for one or both of the older variants, eventually)? Or is anyone aware of anything else in the space that is actively maintained?
I wouldn't vote for dropping support for the older variants, because they aren't doing any harm right now, and it's surprising how many people are still using even Tokyo Cabinet!
I'll take a look at the tkrzw version. If it's modeled on the other two, it shouldn't be that hard to add.
