Ok. Clear blog post. I can understand that after such a long time you want to move on. |
Yes, I do not want do close/deprecate it. We need to find contributors/new owners. |
I just learnt about this library few months ago. So maybe I'm being innocent if I say that I find it strange that you need more contributors if there are over one hundred, according to this github. |
Dear @josealonso, I search at least one contributor who is willing to
Do you see? Most contributors relied on me in the past but I am not active anymore... |
I see, @danieldietrich, I appreciate your swift response. To sum up, I may be interested in being an active contributor, not the leader, since I'm sure it's a high quality codebase and I rarely have the luxury to work in challenging projects. I can afford to work at most for one year without being paid. Because if I make a commitment to work on vavr, I would stop my job seeking process. NOTE: you might want to open an issue only for recruiting active contributors. |
Thank you for even considering taking the lead of the project. |
I said: |
Never say never 😉 |
@danieldietrich I think most people would want to continue your vision and legacy even if you will no longer be active in it. Would you be willing to layout the vision you had for where the APIs need to go? |
@danieldietrich I am a long time member/contributor to the Apache Software Foundation and have a good background in Scala/Clojure and have used vavr on a number of Java projects. I also raised a small pull request to this project recently which hasn't been picked up yet due to a lack of active maintainers. I would like to help meaningfully contribute to the project to keep it alive and healthy. I'd be happy to process pull requests and offer some of my free time with ongoing maintenance and possibly new features. |
@thinstripe I have been unable to get a response here from @danieldietrich within 2 weeks. I am not sure if he will respond. I think we will have to contact him by email as he seems to either be on an extended break or has completely walked away from the project. |
For this project to continue I think that excellent public documentation really needs to come back in some form. Without it being available it becomes much more difficult to convince colleagues to learn and adopt vavr and it will die. |
+1000 – even if the project is currently seeking a new maintainer, the domain registration cannot lapse. This project is widely used and the docs are essential. Aren't they hosted by Github for free anyway? What can we do to get the domains back online? |
Can I volunteer to at least perform KTLO maintenance, e.g. holding the domains, keeping docs alive? This project is used by some major organizations and it's essential to at least keep the lights on. |
I can do maintenance too. I use it in all companies I work and know developers using it. It's a great library, integrated with Spring framework, maybe that need some rework (it's better to use ValidationNel with NonEmptyList like in arrow-kt than Validation with Sequence!) and with virtual thread in Java 21 we can enhance performances on traverse/sequence, but very useful in enterprise! |
A project of this size and popularity may fit into the Apache or Eclipse Foundation, which could lead to funding and more contributions and additional benefits At the same time, we would need to find a reliable lead first to even try applying to that |
There was a push to move it into the Eclipse foundation years ago, see here, here, and here. Is the current blocker for web hosting just legal concerns? Could we just add boilerplate pages for these? I doubt there is anything unique about the vavr case. |
Without responses from @danieldietrich, what can and cannot be done to move things forward? It seems as though he does not have the intention to participate in the migration to new ownership. |
It's a pity Daniel is not responding anymore to help the transition and to share his road map. I assume we could fork the repo and start working from there. Regarding the site, the vavr.io domain is taken but several other options like vavr.org, vavr.info, vavr.site, vavr.net are available. Or perhaps just vavr.github.io. I would be happy to support by providing a domain name. |
@diversit |
A fork might be the only option without the help of Daniel, unless one of the current maintainers have owner-level access, |
In the meantime I hosted the docs on https://pear-commerce.github.io/vavr-docs not sure if there is another way to reach them |
FYI: |
The Jdbi project ships Vavr integration. We're happy to keep this around for a while, but if the project does not reach a 1.0 milestone or at least find a new maintainer, we will probably deprecate and remove our glue code. Best wishes to Daniel and all involved. |
@danieldietrich i'm willing to take over and do my best with all those responsibilities. My immediate goals would be:

Since a week or so the https://vavr.io website is gone.
