Which one do you mean? The WASM one? It includes WASM, it needs to be compiled too.

Ah github.com/cvilsmeier/sqinn-go. Which... is made by the same person that made this benchmark...?

edit: and that requires some random binary to be pre-installed...? Which is in C anyway?

https://github.com/cvilsmeier/sqinn

so I don't see any "actually written in go".

The modernc one is the one I was refering to.

But that's not pure go, that's C transpiled to go, but even the transpilation is using OS specific and CPU-specific unsafe code.

For the WASM one (disclaimer: I built it) it's at least reasonably simple to reproduce the build [1], and the resulting blob is fully cross platform.

Also, although I do (lightly) patch SQLite which might invalidate results in your view, the SQLite team is producing/testing/releasing WASM builds of SQLite built with much the same toolchain, which, hopefully, smokes out compiler bugs.
