Sounds like it wouldn't have immediate notification of new submissions due to no listen/notify support in SQLite?

It does not implement immediate notification of new submissions because the SQS protocol doesn't have a "push" mechanism, only pull.
The software, however, could support this for a different queue protocol. This is because SQLite is just used as a disk store for queue items. The golang code itself still processes each message before writing to disk. Since that code is "aware" of incoming messages, it could implement an immediate notification mechanism if there was a protocol that supported it.
SQS does offer long polling, which looks closer to "push" semantics.
Fair enough. I do implement long polling!
