Ok so if we take this repo and then the headline from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41085376, we could get an infinitely fast file system by just putting another SQLite filesystem on top.

Reminds me of Microsoft WinFS.

Which was essentially SQL Server as a filesystem.

Project was ultimately cancelled.

Why would you bother with this instead of just making an in memory drive? I remember mounting in memory drives even in MS-DOS back in the early 90s. I did it to move whatever game I wanted to play into the RAM Drive so my load times would be faster.

If SQLite is faster than a normal file system, how fast is SQLite running on “SQLite as a filesystem”?

Will anyone mention the repo hasn't been updated on 4 years?
