I'm not trying to pick on you or discourage you, but "just v0.1.0" doesn't excuse that it doesn't work. Whether they should or not, people trust projects like this because they, too, don't have the capability to evaluate whether or not this works. I wouldn't expect potential consumers to understand that Go's garbage collector makes this a nonviable approach any more than this project currently does.

Right now, this is a primed hand grenade of a project. You should disclaim its insecurity at the top of the README. Be very, very specific that it is not currently functional and discourage anyone from using this until it is functional.

And to be clear, saying "don't use it in production" isn't the same thing as saying it doesn't work at all. Your change is irresponsible, because it doesn't work at all.
