He says he's going to write his own mail server. I use SQLite all the time, and I'm going to try Fossil when I get a bit of time to dig into it. I will definitely give his mail system a look when it's out.
- desine 5y agoI use SQLite pretty frequently. I switched to Fossil (from git). I'm happy. The overall architecture of having your repo be a single binary stored in one location, and your working directories being just working directories and not repos themselves is a breath of fresh air. Branching seems a little different, but my projects aren't big enough scope to have encountered any hiccups. I did it mostly for the built in project management (wiki, bug tracking), and to get away from the big SaaS environments. But the sqlite binary file repo sold me on the architecture quickly. Dr. Hipp is a fantastic software engineer and product designer. Both SQLite and Fossil do what they need, have only the bells and whistles needed, and have clean, consistent designs. I've browsed the source for SQLite before, and it's also clean, legible, and quality.
