https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3 was doing poorly on this benchmark that was posted yesterday to HackerNews [1]. With the help of some pprof, I was able to trace it to a serious performance regression introduced two weeks ago, and come up with the fix (happy to field questions, if you're interested in the nitty gritty). It's not the fastest driver around, but it's no longer the slowest: comfortably middle of the pack. It's based on a WASM build of SQLite, and thanks to https://wazero.io doesn't need CGO. [1]:…
- IPI ported Tree-sitter to GoFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲222
This started as a hard requirement for my TUI-based editor application, it ended up going in a few different directions. A suite of tools that help with semantic code entities: https://github.com/odvcencio/gts-suite A next-gen version control system called Got: https://github.com/odvcencio/got I think this has some pretty big potential! I think there's many classes of application (particularly legacy architecture) that can benefit from these kinds of analysis tooling. My next post will be about composing all these together, an exciting project I call…
- GAGogosseract, a Go Lib for CGo-Free Tesseract OCR via Wazero2023 · github.com · ▲120
Tesseract is one of the largest Open Source OCR (Optical Character Recognition) projects. There is already a Go library for using Tesseract from Go with CGo, called Gosseract. However if you are interested in OCR from Go without C complicating building and cross-compiling, there aren't any other options. Wazero is a Go WASM runtime that doesn't have any CGo dependencies. With Emscripten Tesseract has been compiled to WASM and ran within Wazero. Gogosseract provides a simple API on top of this. This project has been an interesting delve into the world of WASM.

- RMRoast my SQLite encryption at-rest2024 · github.com · ▲99
SQLite encryption at-rest is a hot requested feature of both the “default” CGo driver [1] and the transpiled alternative driver [2]. So, this is a feature I wanted to bring to my own Wasm based Go driver/bindings [3]. Open-source SQLite encryption extensions have had a troubled last few years. For whatever reason, in 2020 the (undocumented) feature that made it easy to offer page-level encryption was removed [4]. Some solutions are stuck with SQLite 3.31.1, but Ulrich Telle stepped up with a VFS approach [5]. Still, their solution seemed harder than something I'd want to maintain, as it…
- BO(bits) of a Libc, Optimized for Wasm2025 · github.com · ▲78
I make a no-CGO Go SQLite driver, by compiling the amalgamation to Wasm, then loading the result with wazero (a CGO-free Wasm runtime). To compile SQLite, I use wasi-sdk, which uses wasi-libc, which is based on musl. It's been said that musl is slow(er than glibc), which is true, to a point. musl uses SWAR on a size_t to implement various functions in string.h. This is fine, except size_t is just 32-bit on Wasm. I found that implementing a few of those functions with Wasm SIMD128 can make them go around 4x faster. Other functions don't even use SWAR; redoing those can make them 16x faster.…
