Who in their right mind would implement a database engine in Python?

  Absolutely no one, but doesn’t mean you look down on one of the most popular languages as if it’s beneath you.

    So what you're saying is that he is opinionated about popular languages just like every other developer in the world. You don't think you can trust him to write databases because he doesn't like a language that he would never use to write a database. Weird. Linus Torvalds also hates one of the most popular languages in the world: C++. He must not know anything about operating systems...

      You can hate python or c, but he didn’t say he hated it, he said he didn’t KNOW it. Do you think Linus doesn’t know python or c++?

        He has literally never talked about python. It's probably safe to assume he doesn't know it.

  I wrote a toy dynamodb, SQL, Cypher graph and document storage database engine in Python for the learning. https://github.com/samsquire/hash-db https://github.com/samsquire/hash-db
