Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
> I would've probably picked the modernc variation
Heads up about the modernc library, it has been stuck on an old version of sqlite for several months [1]. It seems like maintainer time is the limiting factor [2]. There has been a call to arms on that issue page, the maintainer is looking for help, but it looks like not much has arrived. It seems like it might trace back to blockers in the C-to-Go compiler.
It's a major undertaking and a very impressive piece of work, but I'm not surprised it's a struggle when big roadblocks get hit. I hope they find a way to progress, but I'm very relieved to be seeing some CGo-free alternatives like ncruces/go-sqlite3 emerging. I'm going to give it a try for sure and see if I can live with the compromises.
Squinn-go looks very compelling too, but I don't like that it requires the squinn binary to already be installed on a user's machine, I think that gives with one hand and takes with the other: sure, I get to avoid CGo, but I also lose the turnkey, single-command install, static build benefits Go brings out of the box.
Seconding the point about nitty gritty, I'd read it for sure too!

Show HN: Sqinn-Go is a Golang library for accessing SQLite databases in pure Go
No, but that has the disadvantage of being C compiled into Go, then being compiled into native executable.
I'm actually surprised by how readable this came out; props to the Go->C compiler author. But you can guess that pushing this sort of thing through the Go compiler is going to cause some slowdowns due to sheer paradigm mismatch: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_lin...

FWIW, we use a version of SQLite transpiled into Go to avoid CGI problems: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite

Go port of SQLite without CGo
It could be clearer in the readme, but note that this is a machine translation from C to Go, repeated for every OS-Arch pair. Example of the one you're most likely to use in production: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite/-/blob/master/lib/sqlite_linux_amd64.go

Show HN: Riza – Safely run untrusted code from your app
Hi HN, I’m Kyle and together with Andrew (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=stanleydrew) we’ve been working on Riza (https://riza.io), a project to make WASM sandboxing more approachable. We’re excited to share a developer preview of our code interpreter API with HN.
There’s a bit of a backstory here. A few months ago, an old coworker reached out asking how to execute untrusted code generated by an LLM. Based on our experience building a plugin system for sqlc (https://sqlc.dev), we thought a sandboxed WASM runtime would be a good fit. A bit of hacking later, we got everything wired up to solve his issue. Now the API is ready for other developers to try out.
The Riza Code Interpreter API is an HTTP interface to various dynamic language interpreters, each running inside a WASM sandbox without access to the outside world (for now). We modeled the API to align with a POSIX shell-style interface.
We made a playground so you can try it out without signing up: https://riza.io
The API documentation lives here: https://docs.riza.io
There are many limitations at the moment, but we expect to rapidly expand capabilities so that programs can e.g. access the network and filesystem. Our roadmap has more details: https://docs.riza.io/reference/roadmap
If you need to execute LLM-generated code we’d love to have you try the API and let us know if you run into any issues. You can email us directly at [email protected].

Show HN: Sqlbind a Python library to compose raw SQL
I came across this yesterday for golang: https://sqlc.dev which is somewhat like what you want, maybe.
Not sure it allows you to parameterize table names but the basic idea is codegen from sql queries so you are working with go code (autocompletion etc).

ORMs are nice but they are the wrong abstraction
Agreed, but tools like https://sqlc.dev, which I mention in the article, are a good trade-off that allows you to have verified, testable, SQL in your code.

Go ORMs Compared
sqlc is not strictly a conventional ORM. It offers a unique approach by generating Go code from SQL queries. This allows developers to write SQL, which sqlc then converts into type-safe Go code, reducing the boilerplate significantly. It ensures that your queries are syntactically correct and type-safe. sqlc is ideal for those who prefer writing SQL and are looking for an efficient way to integrate it into a Go application.

Type-safe Data Access in Go using Prisma and sqlc
I was browsing awesome-go for ideas on how to setup my data access layer when I stumbled on sqlc. It seemed like a great option. Code generation is a strategy often used in the Go ecosystem and making my queries safe at compile time was an idea I really liked. Knex was great, but it required of me that I test thoroughly my queries at runtime and that I sanitize my query results to ensure type safety within my application.
