It was moved to https://github.com/wiremod/wire-cpu due to security concerns.

Wouldn't it break compatibility with other save files?

Is it going to be reimplemented once the vulnerability is fixed?

i doubt anyone is going to rewrite 3 components for the 5 people that make up the zcpu/cpu/gpu community

I'm against this. It's a transpiled, large project that the original creator has long ago abandoned. It's just not safe to keep in this codebase nor is it productive to keep it with decade old bugs, and as @Hazeofdream says, barely anyone uses it. It's unfortunate but that's how abandonware goes

There's another chip in the works if you are just interested in a cpu

[joveaaron]

Hey, it's been some time. Does this new chip have an estimated release date? is it still in the works? will it be backwards compatible with ZASM?

[Vurv78]

No it isn't backwards compatible, the syntax is different, you can check it out here: https://github.com/Vurv78/wire/tree/qmcpu
I don't think the author wants to continue it though unfortunately.

Either way, cpu/gpu/spu have been picked up on https://github.com/wiremod/wire-cpu, and it has its own workshop addon now. I don't think it will return to being included in wire and I think that's for the best.
