> That being said, Rust and possibly even Go would be strong contenders to make a new SQLite-like library/program today. At least on the Rust side, the C bindings are excellent too.

Doubtful, rust and go do not run on nearly as many platforms as c and sqlite does. I get everyone wants to use other languages, but this incessant "rewrite in rust/go/$THING" is getting annoying.

I'm going to try to coin a new online discussion rule of programming language posts:

- At some point someone is going to suggest any problems for one language can be solved by rewriting in another language.

In this case "because c" "therefore rust". Its basically godwins law for programming language discussion.
