From what I understand, D Richard Hipp's appreciation of Tcl is the reason SQLite has dynamic typing. (I believe I heard this in one of his talks that's on youtube, which are excellent.)
- elamje 7y agoThat makes sense. I heard him say that the pain points of dynamic typing are mostly just people using it for web apps that eventually have to migrate to Postgres and the like, causing some headaches because client server DB’s are much more rigid, causing errors. I agree that his talks are great! He’s such an enthusiastic guy. I hope SQLite will adopt default foreign keys and WAL sometime soon, but I understand that he needs to keep it as backwards compatible as possible.
