- coldtea 11y agoThere's no "normal" or not "normal". There are projects that became open source after a decade or more of existance. Open Office for example had a long life as the proprietary "Star Office". Blender too IIRC.
- zimbatm 11y agoA number that I've seen thrown around: it takes 5 years to create a language. Probably less nowadays since we have all the tooling. It might make sense to wait until the language has settled-down before open-sourcing.
