current state and future of KCL

[MirKml]

First, thanks for impressive work on such a nice, feature rich configuration language.
But I'm little bit concerned.
Whole 2024 was amazing. New features every month, regularly releases, blog posts.

But in 2025 this pace is gone. 2 bugfix releases in 6 months, no newsletters, blogs, no new features. Commit rate is very low...

What is the future, roadmap for KCL? KCL ecosystem is huge, language, bindings, library, packages.... it can became obsolete very quickly.

Can you summarize or quote it? Accessing the info doesn't work for me, as I don't have an account for this slack channel.

I figured out how to log in a week or two back. The gist was that a similar question was posed (e.g. is KCL still maintained) and the general response was that internal work responsibilities for @Peefy et al. had picked up quite a bit, reducing the time available to dedicate to KCL.

There's more in the thread but I think this captures the highlight (response from @He1pa).

Yes, as a part-time maintainer, I still hope that KCL will get better and better. I will try my best to maintain it in my spare time, and I also hope that more capable and willing contributors will join.
