This is unnecessary harsh. The author has already said it will be open sourced later. I can understand the reasons to not open source now. Managing an open source project is no small work.
Second, notwithstanding V's slim feature set, it's already more successful than 99% of language design attempts out there in that it ships. It certainly succeeds in letting the author to build his other projects faster and easier. It fulfills the author's own needs. I'm sure Perl and Python started that way.
- kkarakk 8y agolook at the authors comments in this thread, he's been known to miss deadlines before. open sourcing is probably gonna be really really delayed
- adamrezich 8y agojeez man is any of that really necessary
- warent 8y agoThis is engineering we're talking about. Deadlines and time estimations are a hard problem.
- ww520 8y agoThis is his personal project. He really does not owe anyone anything, deadline or no deadline. Open source "users" have been getting really entitled these days.
- omeid2 8y agoAs per contractual obligation of the author you can withhold pay and demand damages... oh wait.
