Stripe reportedly used Claude Fable 5 on a 50-million-line Ruby codebase , and the migration was described as a Ruby migration completed in one day.

Quick Scoop

  • Codebase: Ruby, around 50 million lines.
  • Result: A large migration that Stripe said would have taken about two months by hand was finished in one day.

One nuance

Some posts phrase it as ā€œthe codebase Stripe converted with Claude Fable,ā€ but the clearest reporting points to a Ruby codebase rather than a move to a different language.

TL;DR: Stripe’s Claude Fable story was about a massive Ruby-to-Ruby migration/cleanup , not a famous ā€œconverted to X languageā€ switch.
