Future of parser-go

[TusharMohapatra07]

I have talked to @derberg regarding this. The development of this repository has been stale since a long period of time. I wanted to ask the maintainers of parser-go if there's any considerations to develop this further (maybe to match the current level of javascript parser). If yes, I'd love to contribute to this.

I'm not a maintainer but @magicmatatjahu is. That said, I think there were some plans to semi-automate the development of new parsers. @jonaslagoni can tell more about it.

Hi @TusharMohapatra07

Besides if the plans on automating the creation of new parsers that @jonaslagoni would need to confirm, there are no big plans of moving forward with this parser in the short term, at least not by investing maintainers time. We are mostly maintainers in order to keep the knowledge and transfer it whenever is needed, perhaps review some issues and PRs. But I believe, and at least I'm talking about me, I'm completely out of time for moving forward a complete rework on the parser to achieve the same level of features the Javascript one has.

Having said that, I'd be more than happy if anyone else could move that project forward. At a glance, the API the parser would need to fulfill is written in here. That's exactly what the JS parser version complies with.

I suggest we use our channels to reach to wider community and check what is the adoption and actual need for such parser. And if there are no volunteers that want to maintain it, we simply archive it. I would suggest we restrict that there must be at least one maintainer that is affiliated with some company that depends on that parser.
