In addition to commitment, that's what I call clarity by repetition / reformulation :) . Good to see a writer handling worries about such backward-compatibility-breaking changes in the absolutelytotallymostest explicit way.
- jordanlev 10y agoI listened to a podcast interview with Richard Hipp (the main SQLite developer) recently: http://5by5.tv/changelog/201 http://5by5.tv/changelog/201 It was really good. One of the things he mentioned is how they're planning to support SQLite until 2050 because of an agreement with Airbus (apparently that's the life of one of their recent plane models, and SQLite is used for some aspect of the software). Crazy!
