Turbolite is a SQLite VFS serving sub-250ms cold JOIN queries from S3 using B-tree-aware page grouping and compression.

What's the best programming language for coding agents?
Dan Luu's empirical tests with LLMs on Zstd and Pandoc implementations show that language popularity weakly correlates with better outcomes, but claims about dynamic or token-efficient languages being superior for coding agents do not hold across non-trivial tasks.

We had a team of agents rebuild SQLite from its 835-page manual. It created a replica in Rust which passed 100% of a held-out test suite.
A team of AI agents rebuilt SQLite from its 835-page manual into a Rust replica that passed all held‑out tests, with costs varying 15× across model mixes.
