The goal isn't to build a practical SQLite interface in Brainfuck. It's more of a systems experiment: how far can an extremely minimal language be pushed when you combine it with the primitives available in a Unix-like OS. Brainfuck makes the constraints very obvious. Once the language gets out of the way, the interesting part becomes the surrounding system: pipes, files, and formats like SQLite's B-tree structure.
