The original title is: "pgrust: The Open-Source Project Rewriting PostgreSQL in Rust"

Short summary

pgrust is an experimental open-source project rewriting the entire PostgreSQL database engine in Rust, now passing 100% of the PostgreSQL 18.3 regression test suite (46,000+ queries). It is disk-compatible with existing Postgres databases and switches to a thread-per-connection model, with early benchmarks showing 50% faster transactional and up to 300x faster analytical workloads. The team used automated AI coding agents to translate legacy C modules into Rust, shipping 250,000+ lines of safe Rust code rapidly.
