It's interesting that the roadmap of volt has been saying v1.0 is just around the corner for the past half year. The other roadmap items also don't change much.

It would be great if the roadmap contained realistic items. Once a user is burned by an unmet expectation he won't believe anything else on the website.

Yes, I've done a terrible job with estimations and for 9 months I lived in "release tomorrow" mode.

I made lots of mistakes that caused the delay, I'll post a detailed blog about it.

Should have sticked to "it's ready when it's ready".

Ironically this time it it really is going to be released tomorrow (Feb 7).

macOS version has just been released. Windows version will be released later today.

When you figure out how to do a good job with estimations that can be another post, because I still haven't figured that out. It's way easier to reason about programming language semantics than to guess how long a reference implementation will take.

please don't take this the wrong way but I'm almost more excited to read blog posts about your process and what you've learned than I am for the eventual product, or language used to create the product (though I am excited for both of those!). reading experiences people had trying crazy new stuff is more interesting than results of trying crazy new stuff imo

Yesterday, I was in my Applications folder and deleted an old version with an "ahh too bad this never lived". Now, a new story. Thanks, can't wait to read more about it!!
