The argument you propose only works for justifying a maintenance mode for and old codebase. If you want to take the chance to turn away new developers from complex abominations like C++ and Rust and garbage collected sloths like Java and get them to consider a comparatively simple but ubiquitous language that is C, you have to offer more.
- dangus 1y agoIs SQLite looking for new developers? Will they ever need a large amount of developers like a mega-corp that needs to hire 100 React engineers?
- metaltyphoon 1y agoNo, but as morbid as this sounds, the three(?) devs one day will pass away so now what?
- hoppp 1y agoThen the rights will be sold to a FAANG or an open souce fork like libSQL will live on.
- colejohnson66 1y agoSQLite is public domain (as much as is legally possible). So there's no "rights" to "sell" except the trademark.
- metaltyphoon 1y agoThe testing suite is not open, which is one of the most important part of the project.
- dangus 1y agoWell the point is that it’s not hard to find 3 people who are C experts. Yes, even young ones.
- sgbeal 1y ago> No, but as morbid as this sounds, the three(?) devs... Two full-time core devs and three part-time "peripheral" devs. > ... one day will pass away ... And not a one of us are young :/.
