As long as they know how to use a local file as database (do the swap, flush, etc...) I don't see the problem.

What makes you think SQLite uses go? (It's written in C[0])

Was saying that Go's std lib also "hides a ton of complexity that lives in the filesystem" for you.

No because it doesn’t give you IO abstractions as robust as SQLite.
