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.

I've not used it, but sqinn is one sqlite server meant specifically to be used by languages without c calling conventions:

Note that Squinn is not "native go" or "go only", but the owner insists on misleading people:

If you want to avoid cgo, consider sqinn as well: benchmarks.

A remote JSON interface for SQLite, in Go
Of course, it may seem... odd to add a remote interface to an embedded database, but I think that it fits some niches well, especially when decoupling persistence and logic is needed, without renouncing to the expressivity of SQL. It was inspired by PostgREST, but it’s much more “low level” – and it should be even simpler to adapt to some cases. Also, it serves the same purpose of sqinn but with a more general interface.
