Thanks :) I hope too. The project deserves it.

#13Didn't know about that project. Looks awesome. What are some cool java libraries to use in node.js?
You can take a look at https://github.com/j4ts, which contains some Java libs transpiled by JSweet to TS/JS. The AWT/Swing implementation is just a proof of concept, but some other libs are fully functional like awt/geom.
However, you have to be aware that the initial purpose of JSweet was not to port all Java libs to JS. JSweet allows the transpiler to be customized (with extensions) to map Java APIs to JS ones so that you don't necessarily need a JS runtime. It's all explained in the "Extending the transpiler" section of the core doc: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet/blob/master/doc/jsweet-lan...

#14There was a GitHub org of “maintainers who want to maintain deaf projects” and had a formal adoption/governance process as well. I don’t remember if it catered to JS, but I can’t find it right now.

I found it: https://jazzband.co/about/guidelines, but this is Python targeted.
https://adoptoposs.org/ is the next best thing to announce and find more maintainers. The announcement blog post has a few more links that might be of interest to you: https://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-keep-open-source-softwa...

#17I used jsweet to accomplish something really cool once, bringing pieces of an archaic, tried-and-true java codebase into the browser. I had to downgrade java to accomplish it, and I had to manually fiddle with the outputted typescript, but I'm overall very grateful for JSweet (and my users would be too if they only knew). I hope there's a future for it.
