Not really. It works perfectly and fills its niche. Mature software is not under development! It is still maintained by Don Stewart. Stefan

It's in stasis. It will likely get a little bit more updating when I finish my phd. It's needed for lambdabot in #haskell, so that's enough pressure to keep it working :-) For the longer term, a more maintainable approach is to provide an hs-plugins api over the ghc-api, in my opinion. Then the bits of hs-plugins that break when compiler versions change (.hi file parsing and package file parsing), won't break. -- Don
