Redis with SQLite, strict tables, and grep by example.
Hi! I'm Anton, Golang developer and SQLite enthusiast. I work on open source and blog about programming.

Long time no see! (even longer than usual, sorry about that) Hope you are well.
Since the last issue, I've been working mostly on Redka — Redis re-implemented with SQLite.
You may find this idea a bit strange, but it makes sense for some use cases. By using a (very fast) relational engine, you keep most of the benefits of Redis and get some new ones like these:
Redka is on its way to 1.0, and it already includes features like strings, lists, hash tables, sorted sets, key management, and transactions. It's available as a Go library for in-process use, and as a separate Redis-compatible server.
Speaking of SQLite, I'm starting a series of short notes about handy SQLite features you may not have heard about. The first one is about "strict" tables.
On a completely unrelated note, I've created Grep by example — an interactive step-by-step guide to grep operations. It's also available as a PDF mini-book and bookmarkable playground.
That's all for now! See you in about a month.
Anton
