The title actually surprised me because of that. I would’ve assumed the SQLite team would pronounce it sequelite since es kew el ite is pretty awkward to say.

But the grammar would suggest they do say it by pronouncing each letter of the acronym separately.

I thought it was pronounced "es kew lite", S Q Lite instead of S Q L ite.
I definitely prefer the pronunciation that sounds like a sugar-free beverage additive. "This Java tastes like Rust, would you parse me sum see'kwel-ite?"
