It's not impossible. There have been 3 other complete rewrites over the

In another 50 years we might - and I say that only half-jokingly, as I
certainly didn't expect pgAdmin to still be an active project with millions

years? I doubt it, but I'm not going to definitively say no.

Maybe - who knows what the future will hold, or what technology changes
might force another rewrite?
