#Pendulum, the #NIH #Python library for dates and times, has recently been rewritten in #RustLang. As part of the rewrite, they broke it completely for 32-bit architectures. The problem is, nobody really cares and technically the library is unmaintained since December 2021.
I mean, isn't it great? Let's write a NIH library, abandon it, then suddenly rewrite it in Rust, but leave it abandoned — and now also broken.
Fortunately, it's only used by #PgCLI in #Gentoo, and only in one place. Perhaps the author can be convinced to switch away from it?
[EDIT: Apparently it was introduced as a replacement for humanize, without a single word of rationale. Sigh.]
