It isn't the bugs that are the problem. Its the shifting design. One day 
you would have a ton of code treating print as a keyword and then the 
next day it would be a function. It's great that Prothon is in a mutable 
stage right now but you an't expect people to write stuff and then have 
to rewrite it every week until all of the basics are worked out.

It's seems more logical to wait until the foundation hardens before 
building rooms...
