If you see the need of updating it, for sure the team will review the pull requests and merge them into main :)

Oh, good, a sign of life! 🎉

It would be good if tintin caught up with the Haskell ecosystem, e.g. it does not build with GHC 9.8:

[__0] trying: tintin-1.10.1 (user goal)
[__1] trying: optparse-generic-1.5.1 (dependency of tintin)
[__2] next goal: bytestring (dependency of optparse-generic)
[__2] rejecting: bytestring-0.12.0.2/installed-3543 (conflict:
optparse-generic => bytestring<0.12)

Nor with 9.6 or 9.4 or 9.2 because of require:

[__0] trying: tintin-1.10.1 (user goal)
[__1] trying: require-0.4.11 (dependency of tintin)
[__2] next goal: bytestring (dependency of require)
[__2] rejecting: bytestring-0.11.5.2/installed-0.11.5.2 (conflict: require =>
bytestring>=0.10 && <0.11)

Folks are using forks, even forks of forks, to make it build at least with GHC 9.2: https://github.com/junjihashimoto/tintin
(This is actually how I got here: Trying to work with hasktorch is super complicated because it needs all these source-repositories to work around stale Hackage releases.)

It would be great if you could forward this project to work with the current eco system, at least with the recommended GHC (9.4).
Or do you not have plans to actively maintain it?

@NickSeagull do you mind adding the #hacktoberfest tag?

I can create a PR updating the dependencies
