I think you'd be in a minority. I went through the first 50 questions about SQLite on Stack Overflow and only one was C++. Android/Java are dominant, with a smattering of C# and various other languages. Those are my target users, eventually.
C/C++ is the drug of choice for low-level byte and bit twiddling like implementing SQLite. I know: I've written many tens of thousands of lines of the stuff but I can get more done faster in C#. The higher the language, the faster you get results. Try coding your own joins, compared to just using SQL. Andl is at a slightly higher level than SQL for writing simple queries. Where it shines is writing complex queries that involve user-defined types, custom transformations and custom aggregations. For complex relational operations there is nothing I know that can come close, productivity wise.

It wouldn't even make sense for me to spend time looking at Andl, no matter how good it is. Implementation technology is critical to anyone that embeds SQLite. I'd guess that the SQLite developers' choice to use C was not accidental. Many people are perfectly productive using C/C++.
