They reached out to the original authors ([@bellard] and [@chqrlie]) +about their intentions. + +As of December 2023 the initial goal was somewhat accomplished. [@bellard] resumed working on +the project and both parties have been pulling patches from each other since. + +As of early 2024 both projects agree the proper path forward involves merging both projects +and combining the efforts. While that may take a while, since both projects diverged in certain +areas, there is willingness to go in this direction from both sides. + +[QuickJS]: https://bellard.org/quickjs +[@bellard]: https://github.com/bellard +[@bnoordhuis]: https://github.com/bnoordhuis +[@chqrlie]: https://github.com/chqrlie +[@saghul]: https://github.com/saghul
