I was surprised at how much of this talk was not about using SQLite in Emacs, but instead about the triples package. Don't get me wrong, I like triple store/RDF databases. I was just expecting a bit more information about using SQLite with elisp or Emacs packages. A nice run down of gotchas and best practices. On that note, a lot of the talks seemed to be very political and have motives beyond what the titles indicated. The talk about Emacs as your Mail User Agent had a huge subtext about Halaal and open source software ethic that was fascinating, but not exactly what I expected. Similar far reaching goals were laid out in Maintaining the Maintainers. There was definitely the feeling that open source software is the tool that folks are using to battle their own existential dread of software eating the world...
