"Why SQLite is coded in C..." is an explanation, as documented at sqlite.org.

"Why is SQLite coded in C and not Rust?" is a question, which immediately makes me want to ask "Why do you need SQLite coded in Rust?".



Because the title has been editorialized.


fwiw there's a project doing just that: https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso

they have a blog hinting at some answers as to "why": https://turso.tech/blog/introducing-limbo-a-complete-rewrite...


Indeed. Why is SQLite coded in C and not BASIC?
