I don't know why Google didn't pay someone to do this or do it themselves. Surely they use Go and sqlite together.
- Patrickmi 4y agoYou’re overestimating the influence Google as a cooperation has on Go, you think they’re gonna pay for what they’re not gonna use ?
- SrslyJosh 4y ago> you think they’re gonna pay for what they’re not gonna use This is it. They have internal datastores that they use for nearly everything. They might be using SQLite somewhere for something, but I really doubt this would even land near the bottom of their priority list.
- ikiris 4y agoWhy would someone at google ever use sqlite?
- tomjakubowski 4y agoChrome and Android make heavy use of SQLite. Not that Golang is very relevant to those projects
- lopkeny12ko 4y agoWhy wouldn't they? Are you implying that, over the course of decades of Google's existence and thousands of software projects, not once has there ever had the need for a lightweight SQL store that can be embedded with a server or CLI tool? Your comment truly does SQLite a disservice. SQLite is probably one of the most impressive pieces of software to have ever graced this earth.
- willi59549879 4y agoGoogle's practice is that every service they build is built that way that it can scale to millions of users. On servers i don't think they would use sqlite unlike in android. If i build stuff i usually start with sqlite.
- ikiris 4y agoIt's much more that servers are ephemeral, so the DBs are as a service from another team. Would you run sqlite in kubernetes? (if so... whyyyyyyy?)
