Thank you for Exstism. My main request is that you keep the core interface as simple and forkable as is feasible. You're certainly incentivized to make it as complicated as possible so only your team can maintain it, but I hope you're able to find a sustainable business model that doesn't go down that path.

I wouldn’t say incentivized, but temptation would lead to that. We are not tempted though. We build new things on the same open, simple interfaces we want to support long term.

For example, https://mcp.run is one such business we are very excited about — and it is Extism at the core. No modifications to the runtime, just the same Extism we all know and love.

And we want way more than our own team to help maintain the open source project, no doubt about that! So simplicity and transparency are the name of the game.
