Hello,

is this project still maintained? If yes, then by whom?

Regards,
accetto

Hi Accetto,

I don't have enough time for active development of v3 at this time, however I still am able to review and merge fixes / new functionality submitted by the community.

I'm assuming it's probably the same for @nkakouros.

Yes, it is the same here. I would love to work on this though when the time permits (summer?).

Answer 3 · 2020-12-09T06:00:17.000Z

I would love to use it (and therefore support) in proffessional setting. Once it will get workable list/array support I'm first one to dive-in.

Just FYI I've also been toying around with the idea of a typed language compiled to bash - bashscript.

It's definitely a different approach and not meant to replace this project. But still think it has potential. Though things like objects, references/pointers and garbage collection are hard complicated to model in bash, but I've jotted down ideas for some of these in the readme (not implemented).

Also, enabled GitHub discussions for this repo, so we can continue over there.

Thanks a lot for all the answers. I'm glad that it's not over yet. I've been testing it last few days and I think I'll probably send one or two PRs for some smaller stuff. Overall it looks promising and I'll continue with evaluation. Nice work. :)
