SQLite predates both; the first official release is from August 2000.
Also, one of the goals of SQLite is to be available everywhere. It's available as super-standard-super-clean C code in one .c file, that works on just about every architecture. Had they used C# or LuaJIT, that could not be achieved.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but SQLite is what powers almost every app on Android or iPhone that needs tabular storage, including the built in ones like Contacts.
