What if you could take a SQL query written for PostgreSQL and transpile it to BigQuery, Snowflake, or any of 33 database dialects — entirely in the browser, with no server round-trip? That's what polyglot does. SQL dialect fragmentation is a real problem. Every database has its own flavor: LIMIT vs TOP, ILIKE vs LOWER() LIKE, STRING vs VARCHAR vs TEXT. If you're building tools that work across databases, you end up writing dialect-specific code paths or maintaining parallel query sets. It's tedious and error-prone. polyglot tackles this head-on. It's a SQL transpiler inspired by Python's sqlglot, but built from scratch in Rust, and can be compiled to WebAssembly. The result is a fast, portable library that works in the browser, in Node.js, or natively in any Rust project. It has 100% test fixture compliance to sqlglot, with more than 9k tests. What is polyglot? The architecture is straightforward: a core Rust library handles all the parsing, AST manipulation, and SQL generation. That…
