About V, the language Volt is written in

I think /lang may be out of date from the home page. Here's what's on the index:

    > Is Volt open-source?
    > Not at the moment. Due to several reasons, right now the development model is similar to that of Sublime Text. The app is going to be open-sourced in 2021, so you don't have to worry about it being abandoned.

Edit: Just in case people miss the responses, my apologies, this quote may be referring to Volt the app, not the language (V).

That refers to the Volt app, not the V language. According to the website, the V language will be open sourced in 2019, and Volt (the app) will be open sourced in 2021.

Ahh great point, totally overlooked that.

It's at least plausible they could open source the language without open sourcing the app at the same time. So they're not necessarily in contradiction.

Correct, the language will be open sourced this year.
