Very actively developing this project, so hopefully it'll become a suitable replacement relatively soon. Please open GitHub issues or PRs if you have specific requests, happy to help.

Haha glad it brought back fond memories! Grob is just the nickname of my username GroverBurger. Fun coincidence.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

I didn't get around to that because my monitor is not amazingly wide (mainly using a laptop :P). Thanks for the feedback though, I may add that in the future.

On: Julia 1.12 highlights

[__grob]

This is a fantastic release, been looking forward to --trim since the 2024 JuliaCon presentation. All of the other features look like fantastic QoL additions too - especially redefinition of structs and the introduction of apps.

Congrats Julia team!
