It appears that RedwoodJS as we know it is being wound down. I've never used Redwood JS but I've watched it from a distance as it was (to my knowledge) striving to be a proper fullstack JS framework akin to rails, which is a noble pursuit. Seems like they had some challenges getting traction and supporting React Server Components and now they're pivoting to a new project which revolves around cloudflare workers.

Yeah, both RedwoodJS and BlitzJS appeared at about the same time as we started Wasp (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp), with the same mission of being Rails/Laravel for JS.

We were excited to see that several instances of the same core idea appeared at the same time, and it gave us validation that we're on the right path. A bit sad about Redwood moving away from the original vision, but interested to see where this new direction takes it.

I doubt their vision. If it's for personal coding project, who would pick RSC ?
