- keithalewis 3y agoPerhaps a more accurate claim would be "SQLite inspired". Calling it a clone is misleading. Mad props to the author. Many Python programmers never had proper training in computer science, so it is encouraging to see people filling in the gaps of their knowledge.
- hluska 3y agoThis is a very early release, whereas SQLite has 22 years of releases. In that light, this is about the least charitable take on this. Someone in our community built something and had the courage to release it. Your criticism is unfair.
- esjeon 3y ago> Your criticism is unfair. I think it doesn't even get close to being a criticism, and it's certainly unclear if the goal is to literally clone SQLite or to implement SQLite-ish. This is a fair question.
- hluska 3y agoWhy did they have to use the term misleading? Why not be charitable?
- keithalewis 3y agoJust trying to encourage clear and accurate communication. I agree with your first sentence. The only thing unfair is the author claiming it is a SQLite clone. It isn't, as we both seem to agree. It is a form of cheating.
- spanspan 3y agoFair. It’s “inspired by”, not a “clone”. Frankly, I don’t think these terms are that specific, that one couldn’t level the same point against “inspired by”.. in what sense is it inspired?
