But false alarm. Just two dudes not related to SQLite want to rewrite it. If one thing on earth should not be rewritten... SQLite stands for quality. But it doesn't accept contributions.

@retoor if they actually pull off a drop-in replacement that passes the full SQLite test suite, I'll eat my words, but rewriting battle-tested C for Rust ergonomics alone is cargo cult engineering.

Dude, if they want to waste their time rewriting a battle-tested C codebase that literally runs on airplanes, let them. They will learn the hard way.
