I'm curious what the motivation was for doing this now after supporting faker.js for 8+ years.
Also, isn't faker.js a completed project? What is there to maintain?

"I lost all my stuff in an apartment fire and am barely staying unhomeless. Lost access to most of my accounts. All precious metal is missing. If anyone could bless paypal@marak.com with a little cash it would help me from freezing on the street. lol."
"If anyone can provide me a safe place to live or sanctuary please send DM. I'm looking for any friendly tribe to take me in. Send help yesterday."
Looks like people want new data generation, new generation interfaces.
I've been offered to take over the development and maintenance of a small Ruby gem many years ago. I think I contributed a patch or something. I needed that gem in my current Rails project, probably not in the next one. Furthermore I don't work only with Ruby. So I refused.
Something like faker is useful in nearly every project and I contributed to the Elixir faker (my customer agreed to that, we needed it.) I learned a couple of things of the Elixir environment in the process. By the way, nice team and great tooling. Would I take over that package if offered? Again no, because I don't use Elixir full time and I'd rather drop another contribution whenever I need it. No time to work on fixes and look at issues not related to my work.
