Curl's founder works for a small American company called WolfSSL. AFAIK he works on Curl-related stuff full time.
- faitswulff 3y agoA database is also an artifact that requires maintenance, unlike curl.
- codewiz 3y agoThat's true for many DBs, but how much maintenance did you have to perform on the dozens of SQLite databases living in your phone and your $HOME?
- faitswulff 3y agoIt may not be me, but someone has to maintain those databases unless the software that uses it stops changing. Where curl has to maintain compatibility with every call to curl, I would wager that sqlite has to maintain compatibility with a larger surface area of APIs.
- ilyt 3y agoMaybe read what SQLite is first
