Thanks for the confirmation on portability, I didn't see Go support in the home page; Is there an official Go driver support planned as well?

Neither Hannes nor me are very experienced with Go, so we are not the most suitable to do that. We do very much welcome external contributions, and someone did make a WIP go driver [1] in the past.

We also have a sqlite3 compatible C API that can be used to use DuckDB. This is actually how we use the sqlite3 shell: we directly use the sqlite shell but bind it to the duckdb library using this API. It might be possible to use the Go SQLite driver in a similar manner to talk to DuckDB.

And Dart bindings? That could be really interesting for Flutter developers.
