I don’t get the point in writing another geocoder when such programs already exist, e.g: https://pelias.io/

Most or all existing solutions are universal (not just reverse geocoding) and rely on database. The purpose of this project is to make it super fast to do one thing. The result is 100x - 1000x speed of Pelias and other universal tools like that.
