https://github.com/zdharma has suddenly disappeared. I haven't found any statement from Sebastian as to why. Sebastian Gniazdowski is the author of well know projects such as `zinit` and `fast-syntax-highlighting` and regular contributor to this community. Anyone have any background about why?

github repo is missing
I just searched github for the latest fork, and it looks like the most recent fork is https://github.com/ryanstreur/zinit. I went ahead and forked it just in case and I have a version locally that I pulled down at Oct 12 17:12 PST. All zinit forks are showing as being forked from https://github.com/akatrevorjay/zplugin since https://github.com/zdharma/zinit is gone.

Current state of plugin managers
If you liked legacy antigen or antibody, and want something lightning fast, I recommend antidote (obviously, I'm biased here)

Introducing Antidote - A native zsh continuation of the antibody plugin manager
Hey everyone! I was pretty bummed out when antibody, the Zsh plugin manager I came to rely on, was deprecated last year and went into maintenance mode. It seems like all the Zsh plugin managers we've come to use and love have been disappearing or going into maintenance mode (antigen, zgen, zplug, zinit, etc). Thankfully projects like zdharma-continuum and Zgenom have been popping up to take over where others have left off (for zinit and zgen respectively), and new ones like Znap have come on the scene. But nothing showed up to give antibody users a compatible path forward. That changes now!

Zsh Plugin managers
Antibody was mothballed. The author now points to other Zsh plugin managers as having caught up in speed to Antibody. See https://github.com/getantibody/antibody#maintenance-mode

Cool new things on linux world for fresh installation and a bit of my usage different things.
I set up my own config instead of using the grml one, so I use antibody for managing zsh plugins, and I use the following plugins:

The VSCode Insiders Build for Apple Silicon is ridiculously fast
Antibody is deprecated. Is there any other fast zsh plugin managers? I’m currently using Powerlevel10k’s instant prompt and oh-my-zsh.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zinit and antibody you can also consider the following projects:
