Open-sourcing is a double-edged sword. Young ideas are fragile and if they open source the project now, they'll have to deal with entitled people and trolls instead of investing their time developing the project. They have said, though, they are going to open-source the project eventually like Swift.

Also the team behind the project includes very smart people with a history of delivering other great projects (LLVM, Clang, MLIR and Swift).

I don't see how discouraging other people for trying to innovate is helpful. In the end this project could benefit all of us.

That's debatably where the trolling, misinformation, and other underhanded tactics come in. Maintaining the status quo and protecting one's interests, even to the detrimental of the whole, fairness, or the greater good.
