A readme file for Dylan Araps from 3 days ago saying “have taken up farming” and the github page for neofetch has also been archived. Good for him I guess.

        I mean, had it been rewritten in Rust yet?

        There are always issues, new distros, detection improvements, etc etc. Neofetch has 11 PRs open this year alone.

        I can’t think of a single piece of software that’s “done.” Even TEX is only at version 3.141592653, not π.

          There are some commonly used programming algorithms and snippets that have been in use and unchanged from their original C code since the 70s and 80s, because they do exactly the thing they are supposed to do, and nobody has come up with a better way of doing it. I have a fast hash function in a program of mine that was written by a guy in the early 2000s who was benchmarking various existing hash algorithms of the time, and that same function is still used in hundreds of other pieces of software.

          I don’t know of entire full programs that are like this though.

        I know at least one pr that wasn’t (still hasn’t been?) merged for years; Proper 8-bit color sequence support.
