| the description as "the next evolution of sqlite" is offensive D. Richard Hipp has done a universal good for the world by releasing sqlite into the public domain and maintaining it for 25 years I bet this VC funded knockoff won't see 5 |

| > the description as "the next evolution of sqlite" is offensive That marketing is really the one thing that keeps me from considering this as a serious option. To callback to an article a few days ago, it's a signal of dishonest intent [1], and why in the world would I use the alternative built by apparently dishonest people when sqlite is right there and has one of the best track records in the industry.

| In the early stages I have seen this project being referred to as "sqlite rewrite in Rust" which is untrue and dishonest at multiple levels. Pure stolen valor. Disgusting. |

It goes without saying, that spiritual teachings are not there to create quarrel and division. | |

| ▲ | doodlesdev 13 hours ago | parent [-] | | SQLite is public-domain software and one of the best well-maintained pieces of software around today. You absolutely have to be very careful before saying things like these, as they bring lots of implications. I wouldn't call it offensive _per se_, but I'd say it's in bad faith at least. I'd just remove that if I were the devs, because everything else there makes me find the project at least interesting. |
