Yep... but there are dozens of different types of databases out there. There is no way to look at this codebase and give any kind of feedback one way or the other without that understanding, particularly with zero usage examples. Which is what the OP is asking about.

Less than a minute and I know how to use it. It's not complicated. The source code is available and fairly easy. If you can't figure out how to use it in a trivial amount of time, you aren't going to be able to offer anything of value. When did HN go from being about interesting stuff to making bold, ignorant statements like "There is no way to look at this codebase and give any kind of feedback one way or the other without that understanding."
You should know better.

It's hackernews, basically every old thing has to be reinvented in the "language of the week", be it go, rust, ruby, or whatever was before that.
From a learning perspective, nice project for OP, for 'advertising' it, i'd prefer the "what's better than the alternatives" instead of focusing on the language.

That a database written in an AOT compiled managed language is possible, for example.
Specially relevant, because it used to be that writing database engines used to be considered systems programming, and we all know managed languages cannot be possible used for such tasks. /s

yeah as a dev/non-go person don't know how it works either. I assume main.go is where it starts but then what... I see a commands maybe it works by CLI? idk either

Nice, thanks! I didn‘t know there was a subreddit for that.
