Ada wouldn't fit because of compatibility and availability, but it's old, fast, safe and relatively simple, as compared to C with extensive scaffolding.

- irundebian 9y agoI don't understand this. Ada is still being developed. Other question: Why not using SPARK?
- jeffreyrogers 9y agoIt's much easier to include C source code in an application than Ada.
- irundebian 9y agoYes, but you don't want C if you choose Ada, no?
- jeffreyrogers 9y agoBut sqlite is a dependency for many other applications, lots on platforms that probably don't have good Ada compilers, so sqlite wouldn't be as useful if it were written in Ada.
