For the most part, Ragel works great and does not need much maintenance. I made some changes to work with the Ragel 5-to-6 transition for Mongrel (pre-unicorn) and that was it. Since I mainly use Ragel from the Debian package nowadays, I missed this bit of news when it was posted 2014-10-24. http://www.colm.net/ragel-now-maintained-by-colm-networks/ | As of October 2014, Ragel will be maintained by Colm Networks.  | This is a new consulting company founded by Dr. Adrian D. | Thurston. (ed: Adrian Thurston is the original author of Ragel) | Since we cannot operate in the open, the git repository for | Ragel  will no longer be available. The project will be | published as release (and pre-release) tarballs only. On the | upside, Ragel will get much more attention. *Sigh* I guess we'll need to diff release tarballs from now on... I'm not very knowledgeable in C++, so any extra help auditing Ragel changes would be greatly appreciated. | The license will remain the same: GPLv2 with an exception for | the generated code derived from Ragel source. OK, at least that is good to hear. Fwiw, the ragel-users mailing list (where I lurked) closed in July 2014, too. Anyways, I still love Ragel as a tool/language and have used it in other projects. For now, it seems to work, but I'm hesitant to start new projects using it.
