Why Is SQLite Coded in C and not Rust

For slices the access is handled inside of the compiler: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/235a4c083eb2a2bfe8779...

I'm checking to see how array access is implemented, whether through deref to slice, or otherwise.

I had Vec in mind but regardless nothing forces you to use the bounds-checked variant vs one that returns option<t>. And if you really are sure the bounds hold you can always use the assume crate or just unwrap_unchecked explicitly.
