So if it's $100 per year and it's a programming language, at 366 days I can't even use what I already wrote? I'd advocate for the JetBrains licensing model: it remains licensed to the user indefinitely but just with no updates. Otherwise for a programming language that's extortion not a licensing fee

That is how the purchasing model currently works. Once you have downloaded the executable, you are free to use it forever even after your subscription ends.

But, I can see where there might be confusion. So, I'll be sure to re-word that page and make it more clear.
