Pretty sure it's not due to performance, but due to age of most database code bases and in some cases licensing. How annoying it is to have dependencies in C and C++ also probably a contributing factor.
I'd rather an author pulls in a tinyvec/serde than tries to make a bespoke implementation.
You are entitled to your take, but it is a demonstration that you’ve never been anywhere near a modern database engine code base. You can’t defend your opinion. It is what people with no experience would say.
That’s fine, I have not objection to hot takes, but don’t conflate your limited experience with reality.
Never claimed that I was an expert or anything. I interpolated my opinion from my experience with large C code bases.
I get it that you work on a geospatial database and understand this field better than I do, but why so rude and dismissive? Work on that.
