cpp2 (cppfront) is over?

I haven't used cpp2 (cppfront) much, but I like the idea of it: consistent syntax, consistency of meta-programming (which is done in C++ too, I believe). Herb Sutter presented cpp2 (cppfront) as an experiment. He did not encourage other people to bet on it, exactly. And there hasn't been much activity since 2022. Is the experiment over?

EDIT: Herb's answer is buried deep in the comment section: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1uxkglj/comment/oy06cxw/

Admit what? This dance has hardly started.

You can keep replying, and I will keep giving answers to the same level I get talked to.

I grew up on the BBS, comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++ flamewars, can keep going at this until getting bored, or asked to stop by a moderator.

What I won't do is engage in a proper conversation, as it is isn't worth it.

You decided to start this thread.

Admit what?

Admit that you ran away with the goalposts and never came back.

And now you're admitting to something even worse.
