Well I'm not waiting for Jai, I'm happily using C++. If Jai eventually comes out and turns out to be a cool language and the tooling becomes available under sane licenses I might pick it up, or I might not. I'm in no rush either way.

If it's still not available in 2034, I guess you can fairly say it's taking a while. But then again, so what; if it comes out in 2036 it comes out in 2036.

There's this whole 'passing of time', and "we'll all eventually die", thing though, right?

If it comes out in 2036, it's totally irrelevant for a working dev in 2024 to be concerned with it. So that he'll get to use it in a decade? At this point it's already a promise-ware, and it's like it has community adoption to be promising.

Until at least a roadmap is released, Jai is totally irrelevant for a working developer. Even if it's released next month, you can't plan for that.
