This is awesome stuff, but the fact still remains that for a lot of software, it just doesn't matter if it crashes occasionally. I'm not saying you shouldn't test. I'm saying that not all projects (and probably not even most) require the same degree of reliability and testing that SQLite requires.


SQLite has said that: "it is a replacement for text file, not Oracle"

That seems like a very humble goal, and yet they strive for that level of quality.

The reason why it is done with quality is because the developers really wanted to.
