At the level of engineering of SQLite, the choice of language is almost immaterial. Suggesting a low effort transpilation is a competitive peer seems unserious

At the level of engineering of SQLite, the choice of language is almost immaterial. Suggesting a low effort transpilation is a competitive peer seems unserious and vaguely disrespectful.

- ttfkam 3y agoThe CVE list would dispute that assertion. There's a reason Microsoft is rewriting parts of the Windows kernel in Rust, and it isn't trendiness or because the kernel is at a trivial level of engineering. It's the same reason Torvalds refused to have C++ anywhere near the Linux kernel but is not accepting patches in Rust. The advantage of C is its transparency and simplicity, but its safety has always been a thorn in the industry's side. RiiR has become a bit of a parody of itself, but there is a large grain of truth from where that sentiment was born. Life is too short for segfaults and buffer overruns.
