AFAIK your stated reason for the silence is not accurate. Andy’s criticisms were always based on V making claims that no one could evaluate because it was closed source/unreleased (and then used those claims to solicit money from people). Once V was made open source, those criticisms no longer applied, as things like TFA could be written.

- amedvednikov 4y agoNo, he also had criticisms like "the V compiler depends on an OpenGL context creation library, so the claim that it has zero dependencies is false, the author is a scammer".
