So it seems like maybe spec2 is dead in the water? Haven't seen any announcements related to this in years and the repo hasn't had a major change since 2021...

Not dead. Stalled. Last I heard, Rich was still thinking about how to integrate specs into function definitions in a way he liked. Alex has said a couple of times that spec2 will likely become core spec (non-alpha) at some point.

Given his recent announcement and departure from Nubank, might there be reason to cautiously hope...? 👀

P.S. Perhaps you could nudge him to take a look at the Guardrails/Ghostwheel syntax as a particularly succinct alternative – having that in core would be pretty fantastic. Not that I consider this development very likely, but you don't ask, you don't get. 🙂

Ah, thanks for the update. Maybe we should chip in for a nicer hammock
