That's the point of the project. It promises a very buzzwordy professional grade language to rival other languages built by full time teams of engineers. Of course it sounds like gold - unfortunately this is fools gold. We shouldn't be promoting projects like this that are raking in more money than genuinely useful in production open source projects by people who are too modest to hawk Patreons.
I'm all for toy projects and beginners writing their first langauge. I object to inflating a project well beyond what the author knows they can deliver while collecting money from people who are hopeful that the project isn't a joke. This is an example of how to take a passion project in the wrong direction. Open source from the beginning, be open with your intentions, don't over promise, don't accept money until you have something of value people can use, don't flame people who are critiquing you when listening to advice could make your project better.
