Are they dumping it on Eclipse and waving bye-bye or are they sticking around to develop it further?
Many projects seem to be ditched by corporations and kind of orphaned in Eclipse and Apache
- refulgentis 3y agoYeah...I'd love a blow by blow on Eclipse, my (joking) understanding prior to this article was it was an IDE open source project that grew so unwieldly/abandoned that some combo of JetBrains & Google was able to co-opt it and end up owning it entirely.
- twisteriffic 3y agoA _lot_ of Microsoft's open source projects are basically ghost towns. EF core and the SQL server driver appear to be maybe a handful of people, and there is a disturbing amount of "the only person who understood this is gone so we can't fix it.". Get into some of the more esoteric projects and you're lucky if there's someone dropping in to accept a PR once a year. I'm assuming that every dev ends up consumed by endless rewrites of the Azure client libraries.
