I was confused a few weeks ago. Check out the go pkg: https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite
1. gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite is the primary repo
2. github.com/cznic/sqlite was the github mirror but it moved
3. github.com/mordernc-org/sqlite is the read-only mirror of the primary repo
Cheers!

There's also my take on this [1], which does machine translation from C to Go via Wasm using [2].
It's a somewhat less faithful translation, since I manually ported the VFS (SQLite OS abstraction layer).
OTOH, each SQLite connection is sandboxed (can't access/corrupt Go memory, or other SQLite connections). And it should run everywhere Go runs.

Seems like there are some trademark issues with just calling this SQLite.

The readme really lacks the answer to the "why" question. What's the use case, why should I prefer it over real sqlite?

So is this a handmade port vs the translated port done by modernc?

Gitlab requires js
Would you please host it on a different forge, eg codeberg
