Project Status #483
Description
Hey folks!
I'm investigating muta and the surrounding ecosystem for building a permissioned Byzantine Fault Tolerant database/blockchain used for orchestrating applications and containers.
Honestly I'm really liking the architecture decisions and your documentation so far. It seems like you've done a great job!
My biggest concern about moving forward with the framework is that it seems like the project hasn't been update very much recently, with some related projects not having been updated in 2 years, and the muta tutorial not compiling on master.
At this point, the other option I'm considering is Tendermint, but I would really prefer to have the solution I use written in Rust so that I can customize it more if I need to.
I'm may try out muta and potentially contribute to it if necessary to get it updated. For instance, the version of nightly Rust used is rather old now and many of the dependencies are out-of-date. Would you be open to pull requests for getting everything up-to-date?
I'm still investigating and finding out whether or not I want to use muta directly or take inspiration from it and build directly on top of Overlord.
Also, is there a specific reason the project hasn't had many recent updates? Is there a roadmap for the project or plans for maintaining it into the future? I totally understand if there hasn't been developer time for the project. :) I'm just trying to get some background on the project status.
Thanks for any feedback!
