What is the status of this project?

What's missing?

I'm looking for a solution to build my jupyter kernels. I like Nix as I can keep track of the changes and have a centralized place to describe dependencies.

After surveying options, I saw this project, but it does not seem maintained. The last commit is 8 months old, while PRs are not merged, not even ones coming from dependabot, let alone from individual contributors.

Thus, would like to know the status of the project, is it worth investing time in it?

@MMesch As you are still at tweag, care to comment?

Hi @FlorianFranzen , I don't work on this project anymore already for several years—in some sense it's unfortunate because I fully believe in the Jupyter + Nix approach and think much can be done here to simplify and improve lives of many users. I may get involved again in this project, or a similar one, in one way or another soon but it's unclear yet.

Until then, I'm tagging @aspiwack to get an update what the current status is.

I think the project is pretty dormant at the moment, unfortunately. Some of the choices we've made in the latest iteration seem to have not panned out, and the project lost steam. However, let me, in turn, pass the ball to @balsoft who leads our Nix group, and can probably get you a fresher point of view.

I've been busy with a lot of other things, and as such didn't pay any attention to this project. I apologize for that. I've now granted maintainer status to @GTrunSec. Hopefully, now jupyenv will get the development it deserves :)

Just wanna add, the website is down.

There was a merge yesterday for the first time in a long time. Perhaps it broke the website.

@anpin Could you fix the problem with the website? I need time to think about how to rewrite the jupyenv. #559

I will try now, but not sure if I'll have enough time to finish today.

Was banging my head for the last hour trying to fix ihaskel imports, this branch seems to work.
