With the latest commit (https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch/commit/ba411e0d0fabcd5cbf0881f1380482e2f5ab9f47) being 2 years old while an issue like #247 remains unresolved (after 4 years) and no promising forks having been created, is this project just gonna slowly die?

inotifywait from inotify-tools

inotifywait is great but not cross-platform, it only works on systems with inotify
