Hello,
Hi,
I'm interested in using and possibly contributing to Corrosion
Welcome them ;)
I have not seen any/much traffic on the mailing list archive
Is corrosion still active?
Corrosion is working as expected and it's relatively stable. Current active contributors are mostly keeping it up to date (build, compatibility with recent rust-analyzer), no-one seems to be planning -nor even requesting- further feature development.
So it's currently in "maintenance" mode; but it's still actively maintained. New contributors are welcome to bring new features.
and it looks like it's been a couple of years since the last
project release.
The current policy is to encourage people on using the nightly build. As Corrosion is not part of SimRel, current contributors have thought it's good enough to just deliver code and latest build and not bother with releasing, which so far didn't appear as necessary to any user of Corrosion.
Note that while I'm writing this, I noticed that the marketplace entry for corrosion (~200 installs/month) is still using latest release. I'm updating it right now so it uses snapshots, thanks for ringing a bell ;)
If so are what are the next (and other) release plans?
The plan is that there is no plan (at the moment).
Would you take contributions?
Obviously we'd review any incoming contribution.
(e.g. integration of Java
<-> Rust services via grpc remote services?)
Corrosion is really about the IDE. Isn't what you're proposing here more a runtime library? If so, I don't think Corrosion is a good fit.
