Agree, also sqlite might turn out faster than a filesystem even for much more practical cases: https://sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html https://sqlite.org/fastertha

Agree, also sqlite might turn out faster than a filesystem even for much more practical cases: https://sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html https://sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html However it still tickles my curiosity and exercises an interesting pathological case. As a kid I've had this idea, what if I could store the data bytes in the file names of empty files, did I just create space out of nowhere? It's always beautiful whenever you rediscover that computers are not magic.
