Is parboiled still being maintained?

[Facsimiler]

Hi @sirthias, @xuwei-k,

I've been a parboiled user for a number of years, now, and it's a fantastic tool! Thanks for all your efforts on it!

It seems that there hasn't been much activity on the project over the past year, just a few Scala Steward bot updates. Is this because there's not much that needs to be done (there haven't been any issues raised since the end of 2023, it seems)?

I'm curious because I'd like to use parboiled on a new project I'm kicking off, and would like to ensure that it is still being supported... 😊

Thank you for the feedback, @Facsimiler!
It really is much appreciated.

It's true that there hasn't been much activity, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
pb2 does it's job.

If you are starting a new project and know how to solve you parsing needs with pb2 I'd probably use it but make sure to properly encapsulate it, so that a potential swap of parsing infrastructure to something else/better would only affect a clearly defined area of your codebase.

Thanks, @sirthias, for the quick reply.

That's always good advice, for sure. I'll plow ahead with using pb2...
