Yep. I made a simple one in Bash even! (Do not recommend.)

You should've used recutils probably :) https://labs.tomasino.org/gnu-recutils/

TIL!

Sharding would be so easy! Just run "split" and spread the chunks over a bunch of servers, then run "recutils" with "parallel" to retrieve!

Truly webscale.

Well, dbm (database manager) is basically that and has been called that for almost 50 years

dbm isn't a database either, and people who call it that are simply wrong.

So... Databases weren't invented, until after the name was in common use?

paranoid() does survive power loss.

And has performance I believe worse than rocksdb

RocksDB’s default is WriteOptions.sync = false. It can lose recent acknowledged writes after power loss, much like TurboKV Durable. Most folks use that unknowingly.
