Why is icecream not improving?

[salabim]

When I look at all the open issues, I see that there are many demands for improvement. Yet, after three years there is a now new version on PyPI that has hardly any more or improved functionality.

The 'peek' package clearly shows a much more mordern and feature-rich alternative for debugging and benchmarking. Anyone interested should have a look at www.salabim.org/peek .

maintainers get busy, and most OSS projects are volunteer work. so in all likelihood the answer to this issue is that the maintainer has other priorities. but they're looking for help! see in the README:

IceCream is looking for a lead contributor + maintainer. Would you love to lead IceCream and improve debugging for everyone in Python? Please reach out and let me know! 🙌
