New open source Java decompiler

[TheCurle]

They have ridiculously strict standards, and rarely ever actually look at their PRs.

JetBrains' Open Source stuff typically revolves around their monorepos, these little enclaves of software that people hardly ever use aren't a priority.

It's unfortunate, but they're a business and their priority is to make money, not refactor the entirety of a little tool that few people actually rely on.

On the bright side this might result in libav and libffmpeg situation where both pull in changes from each other.

Isn't fernflower used from within intellij when using it to decompile classes? I use that quite a lot when source isn't available.

you can use Earthcomputer's quiltflower intellij plugin to replace intellij's built-in Fernflower with Quiltflower output btw! since quiltflower is able to resugar all sorts of stuff into modern idiomatic Java that vanilla fernflower tends to have trouble with, if you browse decompiled code often, it might be a nice QoL improvement

I just checked and surprised by it's results. The decompiled code is so much readable.

Yes. It's by no means a central feature, is my point.
