I briefly looked at the examples (he does have a github repo for the example code, but only for the example code), and yes that does look impressive. There's even an example of how to build a website, I must say that looks pretty complicated but well it's there.

So yeah he's put a huge amount of effort (and talent) into it, but what is he gaining from all that work? So little, compared to if he'd open source it and build a community that he could lead, which must be so much more satisfying. He's putting in a huge investment but not reaping the rewards!

Anyway yeah that's how you and me would think, and probably 95% of people nowadays, but who knows, maybe he's stuck in the 80s or the 90s ... I've heard that the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, but maybe not all of them.

(did you read the Hacker News discussion? he's really all over the place, desperately urging people "please give it a try", but folks are clearly sceptical ... this just screams "OPEN SOURCE THE DAMN THING !" because that would for sure take away 90% of the scepticism)
