- maleldil 2y agoThe website says, "EARLY ALPHA Vapour is extremely young, the syntax might change, things will break, expect bugs." What part of this is giving any sense of stability? It's clearly an experimental language, so I find it hard to understand why you are discussing stability and compatibility at all.
