Well sqlite is more of a passion project than about doing things in the most capitalistically efficient way right? So "it makes me happy to invent things here that scratch my itches just so" is a valid reasoning.
- rswail 5y agoSQLite is in every phone on the planet and the author has a company that makes money selling it to environments that require extensive validation (eg airplane software). It's not a "passion project" by any means. It's a highly developed, well engineered piece of software and there's lots of other non "passion projects" that would do well to learn from it.
- SubjectToChange 5y agoD. Richard Hipp has mentioned that SQLite and the TH3 test suite were heavily inspired by DO-178B, but none of the core SQLite developers have been involved in a DO-178B certification nor has anyone purchased the TH3 test suite. Furthermore, SQLite by its nature is not fit for hard real-time systems since it cannot guarantee the execution time of an arbitrary query and/or an arbitrary dataset. I don't mean to disparage SQLite in any way, it is quite the achievement, but your characterization is mistaken.
