util.parseArgs being promoted from experimental to stable in NodeJs

Proposal to move util.parseArgs to stable: nodejs/node#46640

There may still be some interested experts watching this repo, but future development is likely to be directly in https://github.com/nodejs/node

Project mission accomplished!

but future development is likely to be directly in

I would keep this repo till Node.js 16 reaches EOL (2023-09-11)

[Eomm]

Should we archive this repo?

Node.js v16 is EOL now

Short version: ok with me

Long version

There may be some dependents who support older node versions and using this library as a polyfill:

• parseargs/package.json

  Line 6 in 6774908

  "node": ">=14"

However, there has been very little activity here in the last year. No releases since 2022. I feel the main point of this repo was proof of concept and to ease adoption until in all LTS versions.

I checked the 8 dependents with published packages and most popular one requires node 18 anyway.

Disclaimer: I am a parseArgs collaborator and not a @pkgjs org member.

This issue was created by me as a heads-up that parseArgs was stable in Node.js and that this repository was fairly idle and not likely to be the driver for further changes. Which has been the case.

A suggestion to archive repo, but in practice still being maintained.

I'll close this.
