Rewriting things in Go not only makes using them nicer, it often is a way to get a more correct and stable program. However, we are talking about sqlite here, one of the best tested and stable C programs out there. Rewriting it in Go rather raises the chance of a bug and that would be counter-productive.

It still can be an interesting project and if it proves to be correct and eventually shows some advantages vs. using the C version, it might become a nice alternative.

It's mostly autogenerated code and all the tests pass.
