sqlite isn't the most widely used database by accident - it's installed on practically every mobile phone on earth. It's the result of careful and deliberate design with millions of tests and fuzzing. The sqlite team is very responsive to its users' needs, but some features just don't make the cut. That's a good thing - to keep the library small, fast and reliable.
- rwmj 4y agoGlauber is definitely not "some rando". He's a very skilled programmer who has worked on many things (including QEMU).
- glommer 4y agorwmj! Now here's a name I don't hear in forever! Hope you're doing great, man! And I won't take offense, I'm pretty rando, though =p
- Kwpolska 4y agoHas he produced any code for the libsql project yet, or only FUD blog posts?
- chasil 4y agoHe will have to be extremely skilled to develop and pass a DO-178B test suite. SQLite does have a "moat" of sorts - it must always be avionics-reliable code, until 2050 or beyond. Any fork of popularity will be constantly rebasing to the head.
