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 :(

Define cross platform here?

I’ve heard this complaint but have yet to have an issue deploying to Linux/MacOS/Windows on arm or x86 using CGO backed libraries.

Maybe if you truly are targeting some niche platform but then you likely have some other issues to contend with and where are you deploying to?
