Could you build this?
Partial High-performance, low-memory parsing of massive JSON files requires writing custom streaming SIMD or zero-allocation parsers, which AI struggles to optimize correctly without deep systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: A tool like bote requires low-level systems programming in Rust, C++, or Go utilizing streaming SAX-style or SIMD-accelerated JSON parsers (like simdjson) to avoid loading multi-gigabyte files into memory. The hard part is implementing memory-mapped I/O, zero-copy deserialization, and efficient indexing for random access without blowing up RAM. This requires systems programming expertise and low-level performance profiling.
