Looking for drop-in replacement/fork

[matkoniecz]

Is there a fork/replacement that attempts to be a drop-in replacement? I am asking as for example https://github.com/grosser/sort_alphabetical/issues/20 requires replacing this dead, unmaintained, outdated library.

Instead of critically crapping on other people's unpaid effort that they chose to share with the world for free...

Be The Change You Seek (TM), maintainers abandon things, don't have time, die, etc.

1. Fork it
2. Rename it as unicode_utils-matkoniecz
3. Make useful improvements
4. Change all URLs
5. Add yourself as a different maintainer
6. Change the version number
7. Test
8. Tag the version
9. Release to rubygems

Or GTFO.

maintainers abandon things, don't have time, die, etc.

It is not particularly surprising and perfectly OK (people's unpaid effort that they chose to share with the world for free etc etc).

But there is no point in maintaining fork if there is already an existing replacement. Describing dead project as a dead project is not something weird and I wonder what I should do to make it less offensive.

@steakknife Don't need to be so hostile. It was a polite question asking for a replacement. Can we all be nice, please? 😃

@skull-squadron ruby is not python or nodejs 🤣
