A comment on Crowdsec: A Fail2Ban alternative written in Go. Parent comment
Many useful projects get abandoned just because someone made a more popular alternative.
In 2-3 years the rewrite in go/rust fad will fade and both the new and the old projects end up abandoned.
I'll be downvoted to hell for this: jumping on fads harms the FLOSS ecosystem.
Additions: also, static liking and embedding many dependencies harms Linux distributions.
