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:

Open source federated microblogging platform
Yes, the project is still alive and well! It also powers our very alive commercial service, Write.as, which has most of my attention. The open source project is just moving at a one-maintainer pace because it only has one maintainer :)
There will definitely be future releases, especially once we get through a roadblock with the tool we use to cross-compile WriteFreely [0]. Otherwise, anyone who wants to see the project move faster is more than welcome to contribute, especially with tasks like code review, to help clear out those PRs [1].

SQLite in Go, with and Without Cgo
Wow this is awesome, thanks! I'm working on a Go project that uses sqlite right now, and I thought I was going to have to use xgo[1], which is cool and all, but it's like an 8 GB docker container, and I'd still be worried about glibc issues.
