> Wouldn’t this be more worthwhile to write in [insert favorite modern language]?
sqlite isn’t your average C development, it’s got more lines of code written for tests than it does for actual code. Given the extensive tests written against sqlite, rewriting it from scratch in any language, even a more modern/safer one, would ultimately end up with a buggier program.
The only practical reason for rewriting sqlite is as a learning exercise. Which is what I believe the point behind this submitted project.
