grange: A Database Your Agent Can Pay For

I built a document database in machin — my language for AI agents — and benchmarked it honestly against SQLite: faster on every indexed workload, some by 1000x. Then I gave it the missing piece: an agent signs up with a payment wallet, gets an isolated namespace, and pays €0.15/GB/month. No console, no card form, no human in the loop.

The Port That Found a 30,000× Bug in My Own Language

SuperCLI already ran in Node.js and Zig. I ported it to my own language, machin, to dogfood — 10,158 plugins, one 69 KB binary, 24 tests. Then the live test hung for 30 seconds. The bug wasn't in my code; it was in my language's string model. Fixed it: 30,000× faster. This is why you dogfood.
