I really liked the README, that was a good use of AI.

If you're interested in the idea of writing a database, I recommend you checkout https://github.com/thomasjungblut/go-sstables which includes sstables, a skiplist, a recordio format and other database building blocks like a write-ahead log.

Also https://github.com/BurntSushi/fst which has a great Blog post explaining it's compression (and been ported to Go) which is really helpful for autocomplete/typeahead when recommending searches to users or doing spelling correction for search inputs.

Human intelligences, please start saying:

(A)I wrote a $something in $language.

Give credit where is due. AIs have feelings too.
