Dan, it seems like you're referring to me, and I don't appreciate this food fight characterization. In society it is the duty of everyone to call out scam artists to protect each other and that's exactly what happened in that thread. At the time, it
was a scam, since the author was collecting money from people on false claims. Respect is not only contained in tone of voice, but also in how honest one chooses to be.
However, since then, two things have happened:
1. The source has been provided.
2. The website has been updated to note which features are unavailable.
So, this is now my position which I have stated elsewhere:
> Now that the website has the "WIP" label to communicate which features are not available, and the source is released, I no longer consider this project to be fraudulent. The information is available to everyone, and people who donate on Patreon are making an informed choice.
> I'm genuinely glad it turned out this way. Good luck on your endeavor, and welcome to the programming languages club.
