Skytable is an effort to provide the best of key/value stores, document stores and columnar databases, that is, **simplicity, flexibility and queryability at scale**. The name 'Skytable' exemplifies our vision to create a database that has limitless possibilities. Skytable was previously known as TerrabaseDB (and then Skybase) and is also nicknamed "STable", "Sky" and "SDB" by the community.
If you want to use a different language, for now you'll just need to implement the simple and performant [Skyhash Protocol Spec](https://skytable.github.io/docs/next/protocol/skyhash) or for versions prior to 0.6.0, the [Terrapipe Protocol Spec](https://skytable.github.io/docs/protocol/terrapipe).
