Why? Because it's a fun project to play with and a good way to learn. SQLite3 probably would work, yes.

I agree, this post shouldn't influence anyone. Not sure why it was submitted to HN.

I submitted it because I like reading about your experiments with your blog, and I thought others would like it too.

A person hacking on his own stuff, just to try out things, is hacker news to me.
