"It furthermore states that commercial licence must be acquired for closed source applications."
I love the description of the scripting language as "Turing complete" based on "JSON". That is the first time I have ever heard turing complete used to market a programming language!
The scripting language is incredible, I have never seen a more verbose way to program. It is a scripting language, yet seems to combine JSON, PHP and C standard library functions with C type casting. Look at the samples: http://unqlite.org/jx9_samples.html http://unqlite.org/jx9_samples.html
I am speechless, the description of the project is the most vacuous collection of buzzwords imaginable.
"Built with a powerful disk storage engine which support O(1) lookup."
"Support Terabyte sized databases."
Of course with a global lock and after taking a look at the scripting language I have reason to doubt the claims made

- laveur 13y agoIt clearly states on the license page that its two clause BSD. Its only custom extensions and custom dev work done by the architect that requires payment. Perfectly fair and still open source.
- daviddoran 13y agoJX9 was what got me too. "Based on JSON..." didn't prepare me for the code samples. I can't think of a reason to invent a new language (that has to be learnt) as opposed to JavaScript or Lua.
- JulianMorrison 13y agoIf you lived through the XML boom, you'll probably recall the "Turing complete! based on XML!" languages (XSLT, Ant, and friends). This was before people re-re-learned the essential lesson "languages based on markup are painful as languages and unsafe as markup".
