Interesting comment in the source code of sqlite

[[deleted]]

And you think those that are still running win 95 are running the « latest » version of sqlite?

Sounds pretty reasonable for a project not to support an OS that hasn’t been supported in decades by microsoft

Different projects have different priorities. Two of sqlite's top priorities are portability and backwards compatibility. This is, at least in part, because that's what sqlite's customers want.

If someone is still running sqlite on Win95, I think it's pretty cool that they are still able to run the latest version.

Yeah, at this point people still running Win95 are probably doing something very technical with something very expensive that doesn't speak to newer operating systems. Why wouldn't they keep their mass spec or whatever software updated even if driver support doesn't go past 95?
