[nem-en] Future of Nemerle

Hello, list:

I like Nemerle a lot, despite my struggles to learn it. It has a very
interesting set of features, and uses a lot of great technology. It
still looks like a very promising platform for long-term development on
my part.

But one question nags me: what is the future of Nemerle? I am worried
about the Jython scenario: lone genius builds Jython, lone genius gets
bored, leaves it unfinished, and moves to Microsoft. Lone genius builds
IronPython, cycle repeats...?

So what's the long-term plan for Nemerle? Once malekith, nazgul, and
trupill move on, will the language still be in active development, or
is this just a giant graduate thesis project?

What part does University of Wroclaw play in all of this?

Thanks,

-Ken
