### Why build in Rust? 🦀
We believe that the Rust ecosystem has attained mainstream maturity and that Rust will form the underpinnings of large parts of the data and ML landscape in a few years. Performance, latency and reliability are paramount to a vector DB, and building in Rust allows us to iterate and release updates more rapidly due to Rust’s safety guarantees. Both Lance (the data format) and LanceDB (the database) are written entirely in Rust. We also provide Python and JavaScript client libraries to interact with the database. Our Rust API is a little rough around the edges right now, but is fast becoming on par with the Python and JS APIs.

### Does LanceDB support full-text search?
Yes, LanceDB supports full-text search (FTS) via [Tantivy](https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy). Our current FTS integration is Python-only, and our goal is to push it down to the Rust level in future versions to enable much more powerful search capabilities available to our Python, JavaScript and Rust clients.
