The status of the project. #36

The library is very impressive as it looks like a pareto frontier.

But I see there are no updates in about half a year. E.g. trivial fix for UBSan did not get merged: https://github.com/inikep/lizard/pull/33

It makes me wondering about the perspectives of this project.

After one year we can conclude that this project is abandoned.

alexey-milovidov commented 1 year ago

After two years, the conclusion holds.

Yes, I already checked - I want to try integrating it, but the current obstacle - is the need to convert assembly files in the Go Asm dialect.
