A demo, sure. But answer us this: does autofree ever crash, and does autofree ever leak?

  A 0.3 language feature that is marked as "not ready for production" on the website have bugs. How unexpected.

    That's what I thought. Last time it seemed impossible, you said it was "work in progress" for years, and it turned out to be a lie. This time it seems impossible, and it's been "work in progress" for 1.5 years. You can see why that's suspicious.

      You have a very strange definition of a lie. There's a working example. Anyone can run it and inspect it, it's all open source. Autofree hasn't been a priority because of how unexpectedly well the GC is performing with V, but it will be finished. All this is clearly stated on the website.

        Your claim of "(Work in progress) There's no garbage collection or reference counting. V cleans everything up during compilation. If your V program compiles, it's guaranteed that it's going to be leak free." was absolutely a lie. That's why you had to eventually fall back to reference counting. The newer reference counting system has an example but it's very easy to conjure a working example of a system that has fundamental holes. When people use it for larger programs it crashes or leaks even today. Is that incorrect?
