Latest commit is from 2018, despite multiple open PR's and very actively used in popular libraries like testify.

@davecgh are you open to adding new maintainers to help keep this project alive?

Would be nice to get some feedback... maybe it's time to check out alternatives. Has anybody a good tip?

I was wondering the same. I got here from Kubernetes YAML go.mod, and I'm astonished.

One interesting maintained alternative: https://github.com/sanity-io/litter

I started to maintain a hard-fork a while back. I also did some optimisation work.

I have been using this library for a while but recently the binary data print is interspersed with MISSING everywhere. Some change in the stdlib I am guessing. It's very annoying.

we should chose a public fork (e.g. spewerspew) and use that.
