Hey Maria. Great so see the work being done on multithreading! I do have one question but not sure if it's related. I asked a while back if bird would ever support any sort of 'structured output' - i.e. adding the possibility of json or some other output which would make it easier to get the right data. I believe you mentioned it was getting looked at but multithreading was coming first. Any movement on that though?
