I appreciate it! Writing is hard (especially not in my native language) and I'm always looking to improve, so feedback like this is valuable.

To be honest, that blog post was targeted at cargo-semver-checks users and r/rust readers, to give them a sense of how cargo-semver-checks is designed and why, with a motivating example of speeding up queries while supporting multiple rustdoc versions. It wasn't really meant to be "Trustfall's entrance on the world stage" even though it kind of ended up being that...

I plan to write more blog posts (and code!) about Trustfall's specific capabilities (and things it can't/shouldn't do) in the future, so hopefully those will come up first in people's searches and give folks the right impression.

Re: multiple adapters, yes, that's the plan. I have some prototype code for turning multiple adapters into a single adapter over the union of the datasets + any cross-dataset edges, and it supports the new optimizations API so the same kind of trick should work in the same way. In general, Trustfall is designed to be highly composable like this: you should be able to put Trustfall over any data source, including another instance of Trustfall, and have things keep working reasonably throughout.
