in reply to Does anyone use Perl on Windows?

Are future efforts worthwhile?

I wonder if SP developers have any info on the number of downloads that have been grabbed by berrybrew ?
You could ask about that at https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/discussions if you think it's conceivable that such information might be available to them.
(Come to think about it, it's probably the polite thing for you to let them know if you're thinking of ceasing. Give them the opportunity to take it over if they think it's worthwhile.)

If berrybrew is grabbing only builds of Strawberry Perl (as I assume to be the case), then I would think it's not terribly critical.
The portable SP builds provide a fairly simple way of switching to different versions of Strawberry Perl, anyway. (Then again ... maybe it's too clunky for some ?)
But if you find your "berrybrew" activity in any way interesting and/or rewarding, then I'd recommend keeping on with it for those simple reasons (if nothing else).

Cheers,
Rob
