"vaporware" is a pretty harsh accusation for a project that has:

- A performant lazy functional runtime with sharing implemented from scratch in Rust

- A dependent type system with substructural types

- Parsing, tooling, a standard library, ability to run on the web via wasm

- Content-addressing and serialization to IPLD so that packages can be shared over IPFS

That's what we claim to do in our README, and that's what we do.

It's true that Yatima doesn't have an effect system yet, nor is it production-ready, but it's a pre-alpha programming language project, what's the standard being applied here?
