It's still under development, with no public release, but I think it's a bit unfair to call it vapourware, since he has produced plenty of material that demonstrates he has a working compiler and has clearly spent a great deal of time developing it, not just talking about it.

Whether it gets too much attention is debatable. He has some good ideas, imo, worth exploring, although I don't agree with all of his opinions. He has a prominent enough profile that it will likely inspire others to incorporate features from Jai if they are seen to be desirable, even if Jai is not ultimately released. (Personally, I think it will eventually.)

Well, what is your hunch when it will be released? My expectation is eithet never, or there will be a release and it will crumble quickly when people want to do things with it.
