I'm also not a fan of closed-source compilers (or fully closed, even worse), but it's unfair to disregard his work and opinions just because it's not publicly available.

Regardless of that, this is not a discussion about compilers or compiler design/programming, but rather about PL design, which are two different areas and disciplines.

I'd even take a closed-source compiler.

The problem is that, ultimately, he's effectively throwing rocks from a glass house, but he denies us the rocks to throw back.

I just can't take him seriously.

It's currently in private beta as far as I remember from his Twitter timeline.
