Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
First part of the README that hasn't changed in 2 months:
> Sqinn-Go is a Go (Golang) library for accessing SQLite databases without cgo. It uses Sqinn https://github.com/cvilsmeier/sqinn under the hood. It starts Sqinn as a child process (os/exec) and communicates with Sqinn over stdin/stdout/stderr. The Sqinn child process then does the SQLite work.
> If you want SQLite but do not want cgo, Sqinn-Go can be a solution.
This seems pretty clear to me about what's happening. It makes an OS call to a third-party executable (sqinn), pipes the result from stdout back into the Go code. The advantage is you don't have to compile the C code alongside your Go code.
Honestly, I don't really know how much more clear the author could be. I guess if you don't know what stdin, stdout, and stderr are it might be confusing? It's hard to imagine that a programmer who is interested in this library isn't familiar with those concepts though.

SQLite in Go, with and Without Cgo
I've not used it, but sqinn is one sqlite server meant specifically to be used by languages without c calling conventions:

SQLite in Go, with and Without Cgo
I agree. And I work at https://github.com/goplus/c2go recently. Its goal is converting any C project into Go without any human intervention and keeping performance close to C.
What are some alternatives?
go-sqlite3 - Go bindings to SQLite using wazero
c4go - Transpiling C code to Go code
tcl
f4go - Transpiling fortran code to golang code
drydock - Experiment in unit testing with PostgreSQL using Docker
