I discourage coding sqlite in Rust, Here are the reasons that sqlite developers mentioned:

- Rust needs to mature a little more, stop changing so fast, and move further toward being old and boring. - Rust needs to demonstrate that it can be used to create general-purpose libraries that are callable from all other programming languages. - Rust needs to demonstrate that it can produce object code that works on obscure embedded devices, including devices that lack an operating system. - Rust needs to pick up the necessary tooling that enables one to do 100% branch coverage testing of the compiled binaries. Rust needs a mechanism to recover gracefully from OOM errors. - Rust needs to demonstrate that it can do the kinds of work that C does in SQLite without a significant speed penalty.
