I think you got the wrong caption. It's the world if SQLite supported multiple concurent writes.

Stupid transaction deadlocks...

WAL mode makes writes a lot faster, which is sufficient for a bunch of use cases. Writers do still need to wait, but they have to wait for a shorter duration. It's still not the right choice for write-heavy use cases, of course.

I'm not actually looking for the speed most of the time, but more about preventing partial writes, so I'm still using it
