By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has used Anthropic's Claude Code to port the SQLite database from C to the Zig programming language. The process involved incrementally translating C files to Zig, ensuring ABI compatibility, and running SQLite's test suite after each step to maintain functionality. Approximately 919 million tokens have been used in this ongoing effort, with 90 out of 102 translation units successfully ported to Zig, resulting in around 169,000 lines of Zig code. AI
