DuckDB is a great example of how far you can get by removing unnecessary layers... Columnar layout and vectorized execution is a powerful combination for OLAP workloads.

the CSV parser is really good too. Anyone who's struggled with consuming CSV/TSV knows this is not trivial. DuckDB uses hueristics to be very liberal in what it accepts without crapping out like many parsers.
