> Witness the two year lull when Kenton went sandstorming

There wasn't really a lull; development on Cap'n Proto continued that whole time by the Sandstorm team in service of Sandstorm. There was an absence of official releases since Sandstorm always used the latest Cap'n Proto code from git. The same story continues today with Sandstorm replaced by Cloudflare Workers. TBH I should probably give up on "official releases" and just advise everyone to use git...

Wasn't a criticism, just an observation from a 'user' when a key bit of infrastructure is directed by a single or small team.

You are opening up a technology that you are crafting for your own purposes in the best spirit of sharing.

Personally I'm wary of relying on any project driven in this way.

Inspiring, but not something I'm personally keen on using directly.

I do feel grateful that you've given this as an option and I do feel slightly parasitic in not providing a tangible positive contribution instead.
