Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed, the development of Objection has been very slow this year. That's because I've been the only active long-term developer since I created this project and I just haven't worked on it lately.

The main reason for this is that Objection's typescript typings would need a full rewrite for them to become competitive and up to today's high standards for typescript codebases. I simply don't have time, or quite frankly the interest, to do that. Objection was designed before typescript was widely adopted and I made design choices that, even today, are very difficult to express using typescript.

This puts Objection in a difficult spot since there is no other active developer that could take over. Even if I found one, it would take a long time and a large amount of contributions before I could trust that person enough to give him/her access to Objection's npm project. Realistically, I just don't see this happening. Maybe someone from Vincit could step in 😉

I understand that Objection has relatively large amount of users and projects that depend on it. But since I left Vincit several years ago, I've maintained Objection on my spare time for free. This is the problem with OSS development. The bus factor is high. Nobody is getting paid.

I'm happy to transfer this project to someone else's care if that can somehow be arranged, but other than that, I won't be working on Objection anymore.
