Any interest in a new maintainer?

[akoutmos]

First of all hello and thank you for this great project! I just saw commit e48593b come through and was wondering if there would be interest from the current project owners to allow me to continuing maintaining this project? I am using this library both for my SaaS and for my upcoming Elixir for Finance book and I would hate to see this library get abandoned.

I took a look at Dux (from what I understand the successor to this library), but from my initial Benchee tests (can be found here: https://github.com/akoutmos/dux_v_explorer), the performance of that library is very much behind Explorer. Perhaps that is addressed over time or perhaps my tests were using the Dux library incorrectly?? Either way I think this library adds value to the Elixir ecosystem and would love to see its continued development.

Let me know if you would be willing to entertain this!

Thank you,
Alex

Hey Alex, absolutely willing to entertain it and I can't think of better hands to pass it to. That said, there were some major performance cliffs (early days!) for Dux that your benchmarks helped uncover. Would you be interested in rerunning them on this branch? elixir-dux/dux#40

I will just say there's a pretty serious maintenance cost because of Polars churn and the complexity of the library. I fully support it if you're interested, but I do want to give you fair warning.

Happy to hear that you're willing to entertain passing off the library @cigrainger! I'll DM you so we can figure out the details and what that looks like :).

I also reran the filtering benchmark on elixir-dux/dux#40 and the results were far better this time around (2.45x slower versus 37.5x slower). Amazing work!!

I'll update all the Livebooks in that benchmark repo later this evening so that all the stats are updated.

Just chiming in as a small case contributor, & a user for sure.

Short term, I would really appreciate continued maintenance (& can help small bits & testing).

Also, I need to figure out what the "upgrade path" would be (performance is a key aspect in my case, but also features in more details).

So in short: happy to see that maintained at least for some time, concerned about performance loss as well, and I can possibly help a bit if useful.

Hey! Me and my team have small contributions here, like small fixes, filling issues, joining discussions, so you can count on that.
