I wrote a B-tree implementation for my backup program. The B-tree uses
copy-on-write techniques to allow very efficient cloning of trees (so I
can have one tree per backup generation, for example), and is nicely
pluggable so that the way tree nodes are stored on disk are easily
controlled by the user, if they so wish. Actually, the user gets to
control where the nodes are stored -- on disk, in memory, in the cloud,
whatever.

Both pieces of software are still work in progress, though.
