So how's the Verse language and ecosystem turning out?

There was a big splash about this when it came out in 2023, with big names like Simon Peyton-Jones, Lennart Augustsson, and Guy Steele involved. But since then I've heard nothing. Apparently still Fortnite-only, not built into the Unreal Engine. I'm not wired into the gamedev world, is anything happening here?

It is still used exclusively in Fortnite map-making at this point, and Epic is using it internally themselves for implementing certain Fortnite features as well. The plan is that it will be one of the major features of Unreal Engine 6.
