gollark: > sqlite is not less complex than this formatYes. *But*, you don't actually have to interact with the SQLite disk format directly because libsqlite3 exists.
gollark: I suspect SQLite would lose out somewhat in storage efficiency, but it could plausibly be faster for many things at runtime.
gollark: It's less complex for everyone interacting with it, since they can just... use SQLite, which has bindings for everything, instead of "zimlib". And by "efficiency" do you mean "space efficiency" or "lookup efficiency"? Because, as I said, SQLite would probably only add a few bytes per directory entry row, which is not a significant increase.
gollark: SQLite's overhead is pretty low, and the majority of the filesize is from the binary blobs which would remain the same in each.
gollark: It's less complex for them as the code is already there and written with a nice API, and "less efficient" how? Slightly more space on headers?
