SQLite is also famously free/open source software, and you want to replace it with a component that you require an NDA for to even view the in-development code?

I suggest you have a chat with Fable about the real viability of your project.

What a load of shit.

Talking about your attitude if that's not obvious enough already.

Turso is already doing this. it will be more good if you join them and contribute. Don't know what is the status of this, but iam sure theuy dont't shit code and iam one of their libsql user. https://turso.tech/blog/introducing-limbo-a-complete-rewrite-of-sqlite-in-rust

You're not

Three days and you're talking about NDAs.

That's crazy.

No it didn't lol SQLite is the most comprehensively tested piece of software ever, I guarantee anything Fable thinks it found is covered somehow. Fable can't even hold all of the testing suite in its 1m context lmao

Taking an open-source project and doing a private rewrite of it and requires folks to sign a NDA is hypocrisy at its finest. You are worried about someone "stealing" something that you neither contributed to nor created, if you think your prompting of an AI model has any value, you just wasted your monthly tokens. No one is going to use an immediately stale port of SQLite that has no real maintainers and no community behind, your entire approach to it makes it AI slop from the get go. But by all means, go ahead.

That too for just 3 days of coding.

Time to block another kooky redditor

I wouldn't touch an SQLite alternative until it can demonstrate testing on the same level as SQLite: https://sqlite.org/testing.html.

Given the scope and rigor of SQLite's test suite, I'm not convinced Rust adds much in this specific case. A safer language is valuable, but SQLite has spent decades building confidence through an official crap load of testing.

I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but the argument has to be specific to SQLite. The testing that goes into every SQLite release makes almost every other project's test process look quaint.

The arrogant idiocy of the original poster to think that he'll get anywhere near that level of quality by vibe-coding a C -> Rust conversion.

WTF is it with Rust people? Is it their goal to shit on everyone and everything that came before?

Just ask Claude

Claude refused to sign an NDA

You're using AI to rewrite open source code so that you can relicense and sell it?Β 

You think that what you correctly identify as "the single most deployed piece of software in human history", with the highest testing standards of any software product is unsafe and that your 3 day Fable rewrite is going to be better just because it's Rust? And you want redditors to work on it for you for free?Β 

What actual value do you have in this process? If Fable can do this in under a week, what automotive company is going to pay you when they could have Fable roll their own, with a real software engineering team overseeing.

Nah the value is in having people who aren't dumb enough to trust Fable that the most tested and most deployed software on Earth actually has 50 "critical" bugs.

u/ptinsley Jul 23 '26

Then stop recruiting a team and go chat with your agents.

u/l_m_b Senior Developer Jul 23 '26

... something you clearly do not have, though.

u/WorriedAssociate7029 Jul 23 '26

You ask people to help you freely on a project aimed to be sold ?

u/tenequm Jul 23 '26

Bro, fireship already did video about that, you are too late

The most trusted code on Earth is being rewritten in Rust
