Sounds cool but hasn't been updated in months. Copyright still has 2017 for end date. Sort of implies project is no longer maintained.

- politelemon 9y agoIt seems so - looking at their Github repo: https://github.com/GaloisInc/ivory/commits/master https://github.com/GaloisInc/ivory/commits/master Have a look at the pull requests and issues, I'm wondering if this may be an internal project from GaloisInc but not actively maintained externally.
- justinjlynn 9y agoIndeed. Galois have a reputation, at least in the Haskell community, for designing, building and releasing really cool stuff -- but then not maintaining it for much longer than the internal project requires. Galois is primarily a consulting firm and the amount of time they have for projects depends greatly on how useful they are to their current consulting arrangements. That said, I don't speak for them in any capacity -- these are only my personal observations.
- shepmaster 9y ago> Copyright still has 2017 for end date. I don't know about this project, but unmaintained copyright years has been the case in almost every project that I've taken the time to look at (and that has them). Unless a project has an active legal team, I wouldn't use such dates to mean anything (for better or worse).
- ams6110 9y agoThe project is developed by Galois. From their website[1], "Galois is a privately held U.S.-owned and -operated company established in 1999 in Portland, Oregon." So they started at probably one of the worst times to start a tech company (right at the dot-com bust) and are still around. That says nothing about whether Ivory will get any traction, but at least there's an apparently stable company behind it. [1] https://galois.com/about/ https://galois.com/about/
