Summary

This repository provides useful links, but it hasn't been updated for 5 years, despite pending PRs asking for updates. If updates are not planned, it might be useful to mark it as "archived", so that visitors are aware that no updates will occur, and so that visitors know in advance that the projects listed here may be out-of-date.

Additional Details

Numerous projects listed here seem abandoned or semi-abandoned. For example, rollup-plugin-rust has not been updated for 5 years, and has a 5-year-old "help wanted" issue by its own author asking for help with a memory leak. It's questionable whether this plugin really ought to be listed without a caveat about its status.

When projects are out-of-date like this, visitors have to either:

  1. Realise that awesome-rust-and-webassembly itself seems abandoned,
  2. Check the status of each project mentioned, or
  3. Try a tool themselves, only to discover that it doesn't work, then come back to find out that it's old and out-of-date.
