Look at how fanatic the compatibility actually is. Building Postgres or MySQL is conceivable but probably will require some changes. (SQLite compiles and runs with zero changes right now.)

SQLite runs about 5 times faster compiled with GCC (13.3.0) than it does when compiled with FIL-C. And the resulting compiled binary from GCC is 13 times smaller.

		Interesting! I guess that's from your standard benchmark setup. Please note that Fil-C makes no secret of having a performance penalty. It's definitely a pre-1.0 toolchain and only recently starting to pick up some momentum. The author is eager to keep improving it, and seems to think that there's still plenty of low hanging and medium hanging fruit to pick. It does (or did, at some point) pass the thorough SQLite test suite, so at least it's probably correct! The famous SQLite test coverage and general proven quality might make SQLite itself less interesting to harden, but in order to run less comprehensively verified software that links with SQLite, we have to build SQLite with Fil-C too.

Thanks for checking! I was wondering.

If you run Nix (whether on NixOS or elsewhere) you can do `cachix use filc` and `nix run github:mbrock/filnix#sqlite` and it should drop you into a Fil-C SQLite after downloading the runtime dependencies from my binary cache (no warranty)!
