Dang, I'm confused in how it appears V is regarded very differently from other languages and possible desire to completely censor it. I'm, however, highly sympathetic to moderation efforts at HN (for higher quality debates and op

In the link you posted (id=36816398), never saw it until this, as the entire series of posts were deleted away from the main thread. So was not aware of the situation, and that it was being blamed on me specifically. If you review those ch

V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, have responded well to actual constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub,

What you want to use or avoid, is not necessarily what others want or avoid, and we should respect each others different preferences.

V is not a finished product nor 1.0 yet. It's unproductive to act like things were carved in stone, from day 1. Programming languages go through development phases, where things do change and lead developers are allowed to make chang

Think it's way more about detractors trying to push a negative narrative on the language, than it's any kind of reflection of the community, who are elsewhere.

In both the review itself and in V's documentation, from which the example came, it states that autofree is still WIP. It's arguably disingenuous to pretend otherwise or present unintended usage. The normal "day-to-day"

On June 20th of 2019, and prior to the open-source release of V on June 22nd of 2019, the creators of competing languages, and various supporters of theirs made very disparaging remarks against V and it's creator[1]. V was falsely char

Developers are allowed to get or ask for contributions, donations, or sponsors. To add to the strangeness of how its being mischaracterized, was the apparent jealousy (back in 2019) over the amount of donations that other developers got. T

V was never a "scam" or "vaporware", that's a false characterization and misuse of the terms. Such is being done for the purpose of attempting to hurt the public image of competition, for the benefit of certain par

A lot of the false accusations, spamming of negative links, and misinformation arguably comes from those with competing or hidden interests. It's a lot of language war antics, that got out of control. Various competing languages use re

All open-source programming languages are allowed to get or ask for donations and have sponsors, not just the languages that one is a fan of. It's also ethically wrong to engage in falsely labeling or making false accusations, such as

That's an interesting point. Agree that readability is somewhat subjective, but many programmers find .map, .filter, .reduce, etc... as more convenient and provides clarity as to their intentions. Many languages (like Vlang, Java, Py

Many other languages give the backwards compatibility promise. For instance Vlang ( https://vlang.io ), does as well. But in their case, they limit it to a 3 year backward compatibility promise, which kind of makes more sense (a
