And that's fair too. Honestly I'm happy to see where you guys go and reevaluate whether or not I'd used it as you guys make progress. There are definitely some very interesting innovations in what you're doing, and hopefully that point came across in my comments (despite some initial scoffing on my part).
The intent is to handle anything you could imagine writing in python. As this is 0.2.0 of a language pretty unlike anything currently mainstream, we're nowhere near there, but with engineering there's no reason we can't be. The IDE is only one portion of the story here, the languge is another one. It's a variant of Datalog that has far reaching implications on how we can work in teams (global correctness), how software evolves (complete compositionality), and how we think about larger scale systems (orderless and distributed). The latter will be the highlight of our second milestone where we'll do another big release like this one, but for the rest we'll be doing deep dives over the next couple weeks about how we believe this language scales much better to the realities of software today.
More is coming. :)
