"What good is an open source database when it’s written in a mix of memory-unsafe language?"
A OLTP high performance Relational Database vendor has this section in their competitive report. I am guessing they are sharing this with their prospects. They have written their DB in GO, and are trying to throw shade at databases written in C/C++.<p>I have been writing database code in C/C++ for more than 13 years now, and there is no other language I would pick. PostgreSQL, SqlLight, MySql, Oracle, SqlServer, and even Mongo are written in these languages.
Is there a shift that is happening? Are they delusional, or have I been living under a rock?
