I won't speak for Slava, but I think generally the idea is that knowing either one well enough implies a certain amount of knowledge about computer guts, which in turn implies that it shouldn't be too hard for you to learn the other.
Technically it's in C++, though, if that helps.
- mahmud 17y agoPlus it's not entirely unheard of to do the core of the application in C, and offer a C++ API to users. There is a good reason to have both expertise inhouse.

- mahmud 17y agoIt says "C API" in their own manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/c.html Or did you mean rethinkdb's mysql API?
- leif 17y agoThe plugin engine API is C++. They export a C client API, along with many other client APIs. EDIT: I just reread the above, and should mention that I didn't mean it to be snarky at all. Sorry.
