That's the problem any more it seems.  Everyone "assumes" unlimited CPU and
memory :-)

Give a guy a Cray and he'll write one hell of a "Solitaire"!

If you read Bernstein's retrospective on qmail, one of his suggestions is to
write code in a higher level language (especially more secure in the sense
that C isn't such as preventing buffer & integer overflows etc) that is then
transcoded to C.  (Some conspiracy theorists looking at his code claimed he
actually did do this :-)

So in theory given unlimited CPU and memory it should be possible to take
the SQLite C code and turn it into something higher level and then turn that
back into the more verbose platforms (.NET, Java).  The big advantage of
this approach (after the upfront work) is that keeping up with SQLite
progress is easy.
