Creating a Python script that makes it look like you have an actual compiler is harder than you think it is.

I wouldn't say he is scared of criticism, more like he is not yet at the state that he wants to accept criticism. I wouldn't want people to comment on my half-finished projects too, but this doesn't mean I can't say that something else couldn't be better.

If he doesn't want to accept criticism then why is he streaming about it?

So people can watch him develop software? The same reason why you might stream a "let's play" but not be interested in somebody commenting on how bad of a gamer you are?

The issue is that he uses that platform to criticize other languages. That's my root problem, here. If all he did was write code, then nobody would care.

Ok, would you be happier about it if he wrote blog posts and never came up with Jai at all?

I'd be okay if he never spoke about it as the next big thing in programming with no intention of releasing it for public criticism. It's 100% okay to have private, in-house tools.
