For those who didn't know, Boomerang is a promising open source decompiler project.

Anyway, read here for the latest news:

Sad news... it looked pretty promising.

It was an academic project with no almost outside participation, very limited documentation and out of touch with the community that could really use it. I am not surprised they didn't get anywhere. Good for the founders though, it looks like at least they got interesting jobs now.

Indeed. Boomerang was one of those projects I've been watching and waiting on for ages, at least now I can stop watching ;-)

I think one of our developers has heavily been using Boomerang on C++ code with some local patches... I doubt I could ever convince him to commit them to the tree and/or become a project evangelist, even if he was extremly excited and a heavy user of it. A really good decompiler won't come until we've perfected machine logic/AI a lot more, until then, the closest you can get to is raw pattern recognition/statistical analysis.

Man,

I had just discovered it on Monday and started using it for a project.
