Besides giving the world a great piece of tech, Hipp seems to be such a great, levelheaded guy too. SQLite was my gateway drug to data analysis, because I didn't know any better I just started using that for automated tasks that were done in excel up to that point. It was the basis of my career in data, after I decided to get out of academia. Anyway. I've recently built a SQLite extension that bakes Lua into SQLite. You can do SELECT lua('return some_business_logic(...)', col1, col2 FROM some_table; It's very much a V0.01 alpha thing, but it's feasible. The idea allows running complex business logic directly inside the SQLite process. This all for speed and efficiency as you don't schlep data in and out of your language calling SQLite, and for better testability as it seems the sweet spot in terms of decoupling business logic from the query writing. I've been at it on my own too much, I can't really reason about it anymore. So, dear HN, is this idea completely idiotic or am I onto something that the world would benefit from?
