As a fish user, I'd be concerned about the opposite - having a burden of a big c++ codebase and all it's build shenanigans to maintain which is not fun at all anymore could lead to the project becoming stale, especially with a low bus factor. Plus, it could gain new external contributors. Heck, I'd consider contributing myself now whereas I wouldn't consider wasting my time on doing c++ for fun unless it was mission critical for some reason
