What is the state of Johnny-Five in 2026? #1855

Description

@ryrych

Hi guys,
I would like to ask about current state of J5. Is it frozen, stable enough (no need to change anything) or temporary parked? I was using J5 3 years ago for prototypes, for encouraging others to try it out (easier to enter into IoT without e.g C++). 3 years later, I re-checked my examples, they still works as before, but I cannot see any movement in J5 progress.

I'm frontend engineer, do not have deep knowledge on microcontrollers… chat GPT gave me a suggestion that today Web Serial API is a recommended approach. I re-wrote a few examples (from J5) using Web Serial API and it works. I'm not sure if the response from GPT was a hallucination of not.
