Is there a fork that's maintained?
Boscop opened this issue · comments
I would like to add the methods get_or_insert and get_or_insert_with, but this crate won't accept PRs it says. Is there a more maintained fork?
I believe that the orignal maintainer was looking for folks to pick up contain-rs instead of just putting it into maintenance mode. Unfortunately, no one took up the offer.
Not sure if the offer is still open, though.

Use the Entry API.

The message on the readme seems like it is written to scare people away from using this crate. But my impression is that there isn't a lot of room for improvement for VecMap and this is still perfectly fine to use. And I think that is why there isn't a replacement rising up in the rust community.
Honestly, I disagree-- there are definitely new APIs that have been made since the library was put up and you always want to make sure someone can maintain it.
No one really stepped up when Gankra didn't have any more bandwidth to maintain collect-rs but I feel like it could definitely use the love, if folks had love to provide.

Would you mind sharing some of those? I haven't been able to find a viable replacement for VecMap.

That's sad to hear. I'm not really aware of that history. But I don't see any invitation for maintainers.
Do you think VecMap could "use the love" specifically or are you referring to collect-rs in general? Do you have specific improvements in mind?
By new APIs I mean, new things that are added to other maps that might make sense to add to this one. Also, collect-rs in general could use some love, but I feel that folks who have the time, resources, and desire to maintain these should step up. They're already being replaced by other libraries.
@clarfon By which other libraries?
