I was fortunate enough to attend a talk by Dr. Hipp (the creator of SQLite), and it was very clear that he is dedicated to supporting SQLite for the long term and keeping it backwards compatible. From https://sqlite.org/lts.html https://sqlite.org/lts.html: "In addition to "supporting" SQLite through the year 2050, the developers also promise to keep the SQLite C-language API and on-disk format fully backwards compatible. This means that application written to use SQLite today should be able to link against and use future versions of SQLite released decades in the future."
