The Oils project reviews its four-year journey with NLnet grants, highlighting achievements including the completion of Python-to-C++ translation for OSH and progress on YSH. The project faced challenges with pull request backlogs and had to wrap up its fourth grant early due to personal circumstances. The post provides technical metrics and reflections on project management in open-source development.
