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 "key value" and "web scale").<p>There was the whole excuse that the specification was "whatever SQLite does" 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 "not invented here".<p>[0] <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/webdatabase/" rel="nofollow">https://www.w3.org/TR/webdatabase/</a>
