digitalmars.D - The future of the DOOR, DASFOR and SSON projects

As some of you are aware, I maintain some niche libraries that 
have barely any following, but just in case someone is using any 
of my packages, I would like to emit the following warnings:

1. I will drop support for 
[DASFOR](https://code.dlang.org/packages/dasfor) and 
[SSON](https://code.dlang.org/packages/simple-stupid-object-notation). Those
packages will no longer be maintained, effective immediately. If you wish to
take over those repos, it can be arranged.
2. I am working on a replacement for SSON. I don't know when it 
will be ready.
3. DOOR will no longer stay on raylib-d 4.0.2. Moving forward, I 
will try to keep up with latter raylib-d releases. The reason I 
was holding out was because the initial plan was to swap the 
backend from raylib-d to draylib, but that is no longer going to 
happen. The backend is going to keep being raylib-d. That also 
marks the end of my involvement with draylib as I have left the 
project this morning (in good terms).

Didn't know SSON was a thing. Looks interesting.

Unfortunately, SSON's code wasn't written to scale up. I want to 
add new features to it, but the code is unwieldy. Rather than 
lose my time trying make it work, I'm throwing it in the trash 
and starting over.
