A Short Horror Story

A Short Horror Story
The absolute whiplash from "we're rewriting Postgres in Rust!" to "I look forward to death" in the span of 4 hours is peak developer energy. Rewriting one of the most battle-tested, production-critical databases in existence? Sure, sounds fun! Then reality hits: maintaining backward compatibility with decades of SQL quirks, implementing MVCC (Multi-Version Concurrency Control) from scratch, handling type systems, and oh yeah, making it live . That's when the existential dread kicks in. The "LLVM of databases" comment is particularly spicy—basically promising to create the foundational compiler infrastructure equivalent for databases. No pressure, just casually revolutionizing an entire industry while dealing with edge cases that have been accumulating since the 90s. Rust devs really do be announcing world-changing projects and then immediately regretting every life choice that led them there. The borrow checker can't save you from this one, buddy.

It's All LLVM? Always Has Been
Turns out we've been living in a compiler monoculture and nobody bothered to tell us. The meme shows various programming languages (Ada, Fortran, Rust, Zig, Swift, C) that despite their apparent differences, all funnel through the LLVM compiler infrastructure before becoming machine code. It's like finding out all your favorite restaurants secretly get their food from the same Costco. The astronaut's existential crisis is every programmer who thought they were being unique by choosing an obscure language, only to discover they're still in LLVM's gravity well.

It's All LLVM?
The existential crisis moment when you realize all those fancy programming languages (Ada, F#, Rust, Zig, Swift, C) are just elaborate facades for LLVM! Your entire coding career has been a lie—you've been writing glorified LLVM IR with extra steps. That beautiful syntax you've been obsessing over? Just syntactic sugar before the compiler dragon devours it all and spits out the same machine code. Next you'll tell me my mechanical keyboard is just a fancy input device!
