gollark: Yep!
gollark: Using SQLite for this would:- mean writing less code, as it handles the "low-level" binary stuff anyway- probably be more secure, as it's much better tested- allow ZIM file generation to be more efficient, as it can be done incrementally and then VACUUMed or something- allow easier inspection by external tools- allow benefiting from its good performance
