No ARM support?

I had the same question. It seems there is an `arm` module under `peachpy`, but the documentation doesn't mention it.

Looking at the contents for a few seconds, the last commit on that module is 8 years old for all but one of the files, so I guess it is unmaintained, given how many new features were introduced in the meantime.

Dead project?

Their website no longer exist so because of that I’d say yes.

How do project with dead websites and no commits in a year hit the front page of HN?

Because it's of interest to hackers? I don't really see how maintenance is important here, no one is going to base their business on such a project anyway. There are often submissions about content created decades ago, so being recent isn't a requirement either.

There is also a Go version inspired by PeachPy https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo (see https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo#credits)
