The systems aren't bad, the sqlite developers are just holding it wrong.
- bayindirh 5y agoNo, never. SQLite is one of the things I use most. Similarly, I respect the project and developers behind it a lot. On the other hand, I don't accept calling something damned because it's old, or has quirks or both. This is the same API (and set of standards) I work with, and I had my fair share of problems with it too. However, I accept that no API/Standard is perfect, and work my life around it. Also we have a huge ecosystem built around it, and while it's not perfect, it's working so far. And yes, I refuse to give my freedom to make errors, crash and burn spectacularly in the name of ease of use and abstractions. Because I need that performance, and want to be able to reach to hardware without all these layers and safety nets. We have abstracted safety nets above POSIX level, and anyone can use that if they want.
