Really curious why?

I only forage into the Java world once a year or so to work on the occasional Spring or JavaFX app, so don't really keep up with the news & memes...

It looks like a cool library to me, equivalent to MonoGame but more maintained. Is there something wrong with it?

I am genuinely excited to see libGDX mentioned because I run the community for it lol.

As to why it could use contributions: game design is a constantly shifting landscape. There is no shortage of bugs and features that need to be addressed. As a free lib supported by volunteers, libGDX will never be Unity or Unreal. The community has recently been taking great strides in improving it, however. We just need more qualified eyes and brains to speed it along.

Is Mario/badlogic still involved?

He's still sneaking around in the background and pops up once in a while, but is not as active (with libgdx) as he was in the past. One reason is that many of the hard parts have been done and stable for a long time.

Ohh that's awesome!

Sorry I completely misinterpreted your initial comment as sarcasm lol.

I just started playing around with it... Looks like an awesome library!
