A future for SQL on the web
This is funny and sad to me. We had SQLite in the browser[0]. I only did a little bit of work with it but it seemed actually pretty nice.<p>It was torpedoed because it was SQL-based (and not trendy &quot;key value&quot; and &quot;web scale&quot;).<p>There was the whole excuse that the specification was &quot;whatever SQLite does&quot; and, therefore, not suitable for being a standard. There would be worse things than SQLite upon which to base a standard, all things considered. I still believe it was torpedoed because of lack of trendiness and &quot;not invented here&quot;.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;TR&#x2F;webdatabase&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;TR&#x2F;webdatabase&#x2F;</a>
