so this is really just an exercise for our own edification and enjoyment.

So let me just enjoy some more light quibbling:

Hipp, SQLite-man extraordinaire:

"SQLite was a spin-off of postgres, a conceptual fork"

"We continue to look up at postgres as our mentor"

(which makes sense, why invent the wheel? I saw (just a few days ago) that the SQLIte devteam/Hipp are implementing some JSON operators, taking the example from postgres. Good!)

More fun: a youtube talk by Hipp (admittedly talking to a postgres-audience, at PGcon 2014):
