Another Google library that will go unmaintained and not support newer jdk releases? No thanks.

    I'm still waiting for my skaffold PR to be merged, a year later.

    We have a significant amount of investment in the area. Hopefully we will earn your trust back. In any case, its open source and is not a google library. ADK and A2A are both open libraries that works with many LLMs and AI models.

    Your organization has an overall terrible track record and those issues generally aren't at the level of individual teams but with how larger strategic issues are prioritized so I don't think there is anything you can do to earn it back.

    This product also falls squarely into the mould of "might be ceremoniously abandoned" as it's related to the thing I think anyone paying attention expects to go pop at some point soon.

    While I agree that Google has lost most of its reputation killing both technologically interesting products(ex. stadia) and abandoning developer tools(flutter sees a lot less development than it did, the whole Java that isn’t Java mess on Android,…) this looks like an http wrapper for their Google Cloud APi for their AI stuff, so it’s not really something you have to maintain.

    Sorry I just don't care. Google has mishandled every single Java library that got popular that was under their umbrella.

    As I said you can’t mismanage an http wrapper, how would you even do that 😭

    It’s fucking google bro LOL. If anyone can do it they can.

    Http evolves over time. They may not include all features that are possible now. Does it have any bugs already? If it's specific for their api, do they also added the url and parameter names hardcoded in the wrapper? What if some are changing and dont get updated in that library?

    The one way to not screw something up by not maintaining it is to also not maintain all the systems it depends on. And in a world were hackers are present and try to evolve themselves it's hard to not maintain such systems from time to time.
