Can it not just be something that's done for fun?
Why use misleading terminology in your comment?
That said, ultimately I believe, based on available information, Starship will likely fly in something close to its envisioned form. I don't believe Jai will ever be publicly released in a way that remotely delivers on what it's been claimed to offer. It's vaporware in the classic sense, and a few demo videos do not change that.
Jai is now about as long in development as Rust was until its stable release, though it's not funded by Mozilla and has fewer people working on it who are simultaneously building a game which isn't yet as long in development as Blow's previous (and less ambitious) title.
I don't know what timeframe you find reasonable but I don't see anything wrong here. Multiple people have publicly used the language, so it's real and definitely not "alleged" even if you are doubtful of its future.
Rust at this time in its life did not have a "stable" release, but there were already plenty of public releases of Rust and of things written in Rust, and plenty of non-video documentation.
True, but again, there is more you can look at then that, and just because something isn't publicly released yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that you can't look at something. Both game and the language itself have enough materials online to validate their existence on a stage much, much more advanced then 'vapor wave promise stage', even if access to it is less convenient then having an open repository
It’s very demonstrable in its capabilities (see the Sokoban game progress) and as for documentation and end-user availability it’s so early in development that a lot of language features aren’t finalised so it’s not necessarily worth doing to an incredibly detailed level yet.
For AoC, I understand giving Jai a whirl. For just about anything else, I can understand being reticent to build too much on the shifting sands of an unreleased, beta language.
See the blog post:
> Q: Would I use Jai in production? > A: No, of course not! It's an unfinished language. The compiler is not for distribution. It's not ready for production.
I've even seen a few articles, on this site, asking Qs like "Which C++ successor are we going to pick?" and including unreleased languages like Circle and Jai. It's more than a little ridiculous.
Sorry, I meant Carbon! Circle is way more real than Jai or Carbon.
