That's definitely true. Can't have generics / compile time evaluation across languages. Need to design your code around that restriction ahead of time. SQLite being dynamically typed luckily doesn't have any problems with that.

I've actually run into a similar problem with a C library before, because it heavily used macros as part of its API. Glad most developers don't do that.
