CSV database is interesting; probably the most trivially-debuggable a database can possibly be. Although why not SQLite? CSV is not very resistant corruption if host crashes midway through a write.

No dependencies apart from the standard library is my guess.

Go doesn’t have sqlite in the stdlib?

It doesn’t and using the standard 3rd party package requires compiling with CGO which is a pain for cross-platform :(

There is a CGO-free package for the basics: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite

Not 100% drop-in though. I’ve hit some snags around VFS support.
