Tigerbeetle is in the database business. They operate on an entire different level of correctness expectations compared to something like Bun. The correctness guarantees they provide come first and foremost from the design, architecture and

Hehe, why "probably"? It says "250 lines" right there in the subject. Surely one can skim the single file of code ( https://github.com/ieviev/mini-gzip/blob/main/src/main.rs ) and
