This is the first time I've ever heard of why the source release was delayed. I have also managed to see the related issue [1], which was posted too late. You should have said at the first time. [2]
You have instantly earned much reputation by releasing Volt at the first time; that reputation is much easier to lose as well. People easily gets disappointed, no matter what you have achieved (or think that you can achieved); you should be very careful. Or you can stack much reputation that your mistake or short-sighted action doesn't harm yourself.

[2] Not that I like this form of release. Proprietary languages simply don't work in the modern world.

My comment was sarcasm by the way.
And sorry for the delay, I was sleeping.
I'm sorry, proprietary languages? What are you referring to?
A pledge to make your language free (as in freedom defined by FSF [1], so its antonym is proprietary) is not an open source by itself. Currently your language is not free.

V is going to be released in 2 days and be free with a permissive license.
You can't call an unreleased language proprietary.
