Please excuse my arguably off-topic posting, but Apple users should greet this with merriment. One of the lower-profile things announced at Apple's current WWDC conference is a replacement for HFS+ (introduced in 1998), tuned to the demands of the modern age:
<https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/APFS_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html> "Apple File System provides several new features, including optimization for Flash/SSD storage, copy-on-write metadata, space sharing, cloning of files and directories, snapshots, fast directory sizing, and atomic safe-save primitives." The relevance to this list is mostly in the last item above: atomic safe-save primitives. There are many things which even I, a great fan of Apple, have to admit HFS+ is not great at and ACID is one of them. This looks like it should be a great improvement, and the SQLite team (at least one of whom is a Mac user) might find it interesting. Note: this will not be available to mundane users until at least 2017, so don't panic that you're going to be forced to use something new.
