    Loops will be open sourced later they say.

    Is Loops open source? It will be! We plan on open sourcing the platform after it reaches a stable and easy to maintain state.

      That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.

      I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution

        Sometimes you’re ashamed of the ugly hacks you cobbled together to reach MVP, and you want to fix the stuff you know you need to fix first before being thrown to the wolves. I can respect that, for a limited time.

      That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.
