Along these lines.

Did you guys see the link to the new full managed C# version of SqlLite?

Holey schmoley! As much as I like managed code, I must ask why on earth
would they bother? I have the source code for SQLite and it's goddamn
enormous and has its own peculiar style that would take a while to get your
head around. The conversion process must have been a brain-bursting
technical exercise, but what advantage is there for all this work? I might
ask them directly. The SQLite people boast about the rigorous testing
processes and the reliability of their product, so I can't help but wonder
how the converted code could keep up and attempt to match things like
compatibility, documentation, and tools. Is it like having a complete
working sports car made of steel and someone decides to create an identical
one made of titanium?

 

Sheesh!
