the description as "the next evolution of sqlite" is offensive

I bet this VC funded knockoff won't see 5
- gpm 9mo ago> the description as "the next evolution of sqlite" is offensive That marketing is really the one thing that keeps me from considering this as a serious option. To callback to an article a few days ago, it's a signal of dishonest intent [1], and why in the world would I use the alternative built by apparently dishonest people when sqlite is right there and has one of the best track records in the industry.

- doodlesdev 9mo agoSQLite is public-domain software and one of the best well-maintained pieces of software around today. You absolutely have to be very careful before saying things like these, as they bring lots of implications. I wouldn't call it offensive _per se_, but I'd say it's in bad faith at least. I'd just remove that if I were the devs, because everything else there makes me find the project at least interesting.

- anitil 9mo agoIt warms my cold heart every time I open up an sqlite file and read - > May you do good and not evil. > May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others. > May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
- krior 9mo agoThat's no ethical code, thats just religious fluff. The tenants my comment-neighbour quoted are a much better example.
- gjvc 9mo agowe are moving from a world of "tenets" to a world of "tenants" yes
- beyondCritics 9mo agoThey are giving their stuff away for free, hence they can do whatever they want. It goes without saying, that spiritual teachings are not there to create quarrel and division.
- renewiltord 9mo agoThe Trojans did the same. Beware the man who has no morals. His kindness could be cruelty disguised.
- IshKebab 9mo agoI'm very happy for my software not to come with religious proselytising.
- egorfine 9mo agoIn the early stages I have seen this project being referred to as "sqlite rewrite in Rust" which is untrue and dishonest at multiple levels. Pure stolen valor. Disgusting.
