I very much support NoSQL (schemaless, really) databases on SQLite, as it's a great RDBMS and schemaless databases are very handy for various things. I'd love an embedded Redis, but this is pretty much the second best thing.

It is not clear to me from the committed CoffeeScript how this will work, but is this going to build on top of ejdb project [0] mentioned here a month or so ago? [0] https://github.com/Softmotions/ejdb

No it's something I've had in mind for many year and that I wanted to build and test before being forced to used MongoDB or EJDB.

The source is in /server/reserve.coffee

Yes, it seems to close to want I want to do. I'll have a deeper look at goatfish.

hehe, I wrote something like this as well :P https://github.com/joelmartinez/TattooDB-Android

This particular one is for Android ... but I had/have plans on creating a version for objective-c and C# (for Xamarin). The idea is to have a cross-platform and dead simple to use schemaless data-store for mobile devices at the ready :)

Why would you do this, instead of just building something on the metal?

On a slow platform (ok, an iPhone!) serialization of a 20 field object to a file is approximately 50x faster than running an update statement against SQLite.

You are giving up a LOT of performance, even with a platform that's relatively fast, such as SQLite.
