Early stage. Tests, CI, and a strong README would raise this score quickly.
NovaRocks is a Rust-based compute engine project under the StarRocks ecosystem. It is currently an independent project and keeps FE protocol compatibility through a C++ shim layer, with execution semantics implemented in Rust. At this stage, the repository is intended for learning and experimentation, not production use.
