# Helix
# ~~Helix~~
> :warning: **Deprecated** :warning:
>
> Sadly, we have made the decision to deprecate this project. While we had
> hoped to bootstrap the project to a point where it could flourish as a
> community project, unfortunately we ran into a number of roadblocks along the
> way, along with the need for significant architectural overhaul. While these
> issues are solvable on a technical level, doing so correctly requires more
> resources than we have been able to provide and progress has stalled.
>
> One of our goals was also to integrate our own Skylight agent with Helix,
> aligning the company's priorities with the project. While the Skylight agent
> is still written in Rust with a thin layer of C bindings (which is the part
> Helix would replace), we were not able to get the project to the point where
> we felt comfortable running it on our customer's servers. We did not identify
> any specific blockers that would prevent us from doing this, but ultimate, we
> did not have the necessary time and resources to realize this.
>
> Since we are a small team, it is unlikely that we will be able to provide the
> necessary investment in the foreseeable future to achieve our ambitions for
> the project. At this point, we believe it is in everyone's best interest to
> formally deprecate the project, accurately reflecting its effective state.
> Meanwhile, others in the Ruby and Rust communities have continued to explore
> in the adjacent research areas. Some of them have made great progress and
> brought new ideas and innovations to the table. We look forward to seeing
> these new ideas come to fruition and fill the void we are leaving.
Helix allows you to write Ruby classes in Rust without having to write the glue code yourself.
