No Writing a zero-dependency, crash-resilient C11 embedded database with MVCC, copy-on-write B+Trees, and WAL logging requires specialized systems programming and storage engine verification.
What it would actually take: Requires advanced systems programming in C11 implementing memory-mapped file I/O, concurrent data structures, write-ahead logging with CRC checksums, and formal crash consistency testing (Jepsen-style power-failure tests). Ensuring memory safety, 142M ops/s throughput, and zero data corruption requires deep database internals expertise.
