If you've created a new open protocol I'd imagine most people would welcome new implementations, especially on platforms that you don't currently support.

Maybe. Probably. And I think the guy does?

He doesn't seem to feel good about a closed source implementation completely disconnected from the project, for a protocol that is as of now unreleased, only releases snapshots with large warnings to not yet depend on it.

The attitude makes sense to me, from a developer's point of view (Will TunSafe follow Wireguard changes closely? How sound is it, compared to the project's own codebase?) and a project's/personal point of view: Someone invests a lot of time into Wireguard and before it's "ready" someone else builds closed source clients with a fancy website for the two biggest operating systems. YMMV.
