## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 1605, "days_push": 851, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
The original home of the Move programming language, a Rust-based language and toolchain for safe smart-contract development on blockchains. The repository is no longer maintained; development has moved to move-on-aptos and move-sui.

## Use cases
- compile and verify Move smart contracts
- learn the Move programming language
- run the Move virtual machine
- build blockchain smart contract tooling
- statically analyze smart contract code

## When to choose
- you need the historical reference implementation of Move
- you are researching the language's origins or design
- you are building on a fork like Aptos or Sui and want background

## When to avoid
- you want active development or bug fixes
- you are building on Aptos or Sui and should use their maintained forks
- you need production support for smart contract deployment

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: programming-language, compiler, interpreter, type-system
- domain: programming-languages, compilers, blockchain, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform, cli
- tags: move-language, smart-contracts, blockchain-language, archived, virtual-machine
