The path to sustainability also involves reducing technical debt and making the code simpler, so it is just easier to maintain.

But now, what about sustainability of such a project? Currently resources are mainly coming from grants, external funding from projects that depend on Parsl, and volunteer in kind efforts.

Parsl was released in 2020 as v1, and it is now releasing weekly, although those releases are mostly maintenance rather than adding new features.
