is the project dead or stale?

hi. i really like scala-async, but releases are very rare, there are a lot of issues and no upcoming [big] features afaik. library is easy to use for simple cases, but there are a lot of inconveniences like:

• cannot use async-await with try-catch
• cannot use async-await with for [comprehensions] (eg for item in collection do await)
• cannot use async-await with pattern matching (eg someOption match case Some case None...)
• etc etc

we have a lot of concurrent code in our project, but code with plain Futures is very noisy, pretty hard to read and maintain (even with for-compr).

do you have any plans for any features in the nearest future? or maybe there are another similar/alternative projects that i dont know about and which are worth to look at?

We've sketched out designs for many of those features, but don't have resources to implement them in the near term. Much of the work on async has been sponsored by a commercial user, and I am hopeful that they will be able to sponsor work on some of those features once some higher priority items are crossed off their list :)
