I have officially retired from Emacs

The author stopped using Emacs after 20 years, having gradually transitioned to modal editing and Vim over nearly half that time.
They developed replacements for key Emacs applications: stackcalc as a clone of M-x calc and Elfeed2 as a successor to Elfeed, both being multi-platform native C++ GUI applications.
Active maintainers are being sought for these Emacs packages, with contributions and reputation as criteria for takeover; if none are found, the projects will be archived but not deleted.
stackcalc, using GMP and MPFR for multi-precision, is faster than Emacs Calculator but lacks some esoteric features, though it covers the author's needs.
Elfeed2, after 13 years of reliance on the original Elfeed, was rewritten in a few days and now exceeds its predecessor, though it's not yet at a 1.0 release.
wxWidgets was chosen over Dear ImGui for these projects due to its suitability for long-running applications like feed readers and its comprehensive platform utilities.
Both projects build easily across platforms using CMake and a C++ toolchain, with wxWidgets likely to be a foundation for future GUI projects.
