Is this going to be ad-supported in the future? Like, in an IDE?

Assuming you guys are not a nonprofit. :)

Just curious how money can be made from what seems like an FOSS CLI offline product.. maybe maintenance subscriptions somehow, then?

I replied to your other comment here about commercialization https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30652150 I hope it was helpful!

Hah not really.. I had already read your canned reply by that time. But I guess it was a combo of my lack of imagination and you not wanting to be constrained/havent fleshed out the details etc. Now, thinking about it, I can imagine a cloud sandboxed IDE interface— like repl.it. The tricky part, how do you interface with a edge/client device. Maybe your compiler emits (special) “wasm” or something.. (you could ship a docker but thats still another moving part — heres where the gitlab-like hosting comes in?) ..pretty sure my wanking here wont help you that much though lol
