Looking at the sql.js demo[1] the WASM binary is 610K (305K compressed/transferred), and it seems to run pretty fast even on my slow laptop. > Maybe if half the sites on the web start using it Most websites have no reason to use it; simple key/value localStorage is enough for many sites or apps that need some sort of storage. It's kind of a niche thing. Many regular desktop applications have no need SQLite, either.

It’s an ubiquitous need for any app that has a dynamic collection view. You can’t take all sites, see that 99% of them are static documents developed as degenerate apps and then conclude that “most apps” have no reason to use it. It’s like saying that most cats are on jpegs, so cat food is kind of a niche thing for a cat owner.

  It's not small; it's also not huge. For the type of website that has use for this it's not really all that much.

In case you hadn't noticed it, the new sqlite features include using localStorage and sessionStorage as db backend storage :). <https://sqlite.org/wasm/doc/trunk/persistence.md#kvvfs https://sqlite.org/wasm/doc/trunk/persistence.md#kvvfs>
