It's nice that they don't dismiss out-of-hand the idea of using a language other than C (the conclusion is far less dogmatic than the editorialized title here suggests (the actual title of the page being "Why Is SQLite Coded In C?")). But let's be clear that the stability and "boringness" that C currently enjoys took literal decades to realize (pre-ANSI C was a wild-west shitshow that makes pre-ECMA Javascript look tame by comparison), and giving the same leeway to other languages probably doesn't suggest using e.g. Rust until at least 2040 or so. |
