Subject: Re: [9front] using ndb as a general purpose database
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

Not ndb, but Inferno introduced attrdb and cfg

I reimplemented cfg in Go and have used it in a handful of projects:
https://github.com/henesy/cfg

It works well enough as a plug and play key/value store format.

Cheers,
Sean
