Was Elsa abandoned as a project? #231

Kyure-A commented 3 weeks ago

Hi, I find Elsa to be a fascinating extension and I benefit from it every day. However, I am concerned that development has been halted for a year now. Even pull requests with simple content seem to be abandoned, has the project been abandoned already? Or is there a desire to develop Elsa, but it is not being worked on because there are priorities? I hope it is the latter. Thanks.

Hi @Kyure-A. It's not abandoned but basically I get into it like once a year for a month and then let it rest. Last year I started working on adding generic types which to me is maybe the last feature before this really becomes useful.

These months I started doing a cleanup of issues from my other projects, it was about 600 in the beginning, now I'm down to about 400-450 :blush: Currently Elsa is on hold but I will definitely work on it more in the future.

I wasn't really sure that anyone even uses this, because to me it's not really "there" yet, but I'm very happy you find it useful :)
