Why Is SQLite Coded In C
1. C Is Best
Since its inception on 2000-05-29, SQLite has been implemented in generic C. C was and continues to be the best language for implementing a software library like SQLite. There are no plans to recode SQLite in any other programming language anytime soon.
The reasons why C is the best language to implement SQLite include:
- Performance
- Compatibility
- Low-dependency
- Stability
