I think I like SQLite as it is. It's a great piece of code. And I think using the Rule of Benedict as a code of conduct is perfect.

All these young'uns reinventing the wheel...

I think this is a continuation of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33081159

This is a fork of sqlite that was created 5 days ago.

A new license, code of conduct, readme, and github action was added so far.

I think the name is confusing, libsql sounds like a library for parsing sql which this is not.

Yeah, and I think any fork is going to have a hard time generating the trust that devs have for the original. Goodwill is very, very important.
