I noticed both projects become active in the last 2-3 months, are they working together, or merging code from each other, or they're totally isolated now |

Fabrice got active again after we started the fork. There's a fair amount of code sharing going on. His December release was like 50% my commits :-) |

Hello, what's the current status of both projects? Seems like NG has a bit more activity and I am wondering if something changed in recent months compared to status in the README |

Maybe update the README.md with the latest info on how QuickJS and QuickJS-NG relate to each other and what the current view is of how these two projects move forward? |

Given that the README.md now explicitly states quickjs-ng is a fork of quickjs, without any mention of the desire on both sides to merge the efforts, can we assume both project will remain and follow their own path forward? |

I think that's what it boils down to, yes. I suspect Charlie and Fabrice just don't have the time anymore to work on quickjs. Last bellard/master activity was 4 months ago and was minor stuff. At this point quickjs-ng is so far ahead that talk of merging or converging also no longer makes sense. If we were to move forward together, we'd simply pick quickjs-ng as the new canonical source of truth. |

rquickjs and llrt switched to quickjs-ng, I think it should become the new "quickjs" v2 or something like that. |
