The shortcoming is an entry in a README. You didn't mention any
particular flaw besides a piece of text.

No, I don't understand your point. I'm explicit about the state
of the projects. You are not telling other people
that the projects is barely tested, the interface is evolving, etc.

Which your projects are. Stability comes after many iterations have
already happened. We are a small community, we can't do that.

I'm not interested in "application programmers", we are not writing
"applications", but environments.

Use my code or don't. I try not to care much about such insults,
about my work and my work attitude, when I'm not getting paid for any
of these things.

The README has experimental written all over it, is because I'm doing
that for "fun" and I don't have the monetary resources or the emotional
resources for dealing with "support". I do this in my free time for "fun".

And I do take that as a critic of my work, because I actually care about
stuff that I created.


Whatever,
Philip
