Same here. I am really, really hopeful there is a drop in replacement for ULIDs if they ever get abandoned.

I expect the new UUID formats (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch...) to fill that need once they get standardized and made available in standard libraries or popular packages.

Especially UUID7, it it becomes standard, ULID won't be necessary anymore, unless you want a shorted text representation.

But ULID exists right now, UUID7 is still in the making.

The last draft expired without any consensus so I dont have high hopes for this one. We will see.

It's not a very complicated algorithm, they can't get abandoned, you can always recode it, and use it.
