Hi Danny,

Ensembl continues to be primarily a Perl based project but there is growing development in Python and JavaScript, which will continue to increase over the coming years.

Hi Andy,

thanks for the response.

Don't worry, we have enough capacity to maintain what we need for our use cases.

If any feature requests for other api parts should come up in the future, we will see then at that point of time how we can distribute the work better or how we can attract more contributors...

As you have shown interest of the project being maintained and being available for consumers, I will enhance the documentation a little and will publish it to the maven central in the next weeks.

Just out of curiosity, if the java expertise of the ensembl teams has diminished in the last years, on which languages are you operating your pipelines and platforms?

Best regards,
Danny

Dear Danny,

We certainly support that you’ve developed the API and have made it available under an open source license. We also hope you can find others to help maintain the codebase, however Ensembl’s Java expertise* has diminished over the past years and is one of the reasons why we cannot offer our help to maintain this. We will continue to advertise any pending changes to our REST API and FTP site via our pre-release blog posts and attempt to minimise disruption to both of these resources.

Best regards,

Andy

* Ensembl did maintain a number of projects written in Java but these have been either retired or replaced over the past 10 years

Hi all,

I have a quick question:

We developed for our rare disease research some java based open source libraries including a first prototype for the ensembl REST API and FTP access.

Is there any interest from ensemble org side, that the java open source library “Ensembl4J” is maintained in the future?
