I beg to differ. SQLite is a very popular embedded database. There is inherent simplicity to just reading and writing flat files.

Redis feels like that. It’s a simple data structure server. Now if we could have those datastructurs sync with flatfiles with the same redis API, a lot of applications would become much simpler.

I’m not sure how big of an undertaking it is though.

I’m willing to bet, a fast general datasrtuctures database syncable to flat files would open up many possibilities.
