We will see once you release the source code, but for now maybe tone down the language on your site and in your comments. Of course your code is going to compile faster if you don’t support any platforms or optimizations. If you’re really serious about building a programming language I suggest porting V to llvm IR so you can focus on the parts you’re obviously more interested in.

The website doesn't claim V does optimization in the fast builds. On the opposite, everything is explained very clearly. Supporting more platforms will not make compilation slower. > I suggest porting V to llvm IR No thanks :) I'd like to keep 1.5 million loc per second.

  I can only assume that you are intentionally trolling at this point. What you’re doing is wrong. Making misleading claims to make people think you’re competing at the same level as industrial languages built by teams of doctorates in PL and engineers who have spent years studying compilers to sell something you haven’t even open sourced yet is really scummy. You're trivializing the 99% of the work that is required to build a production language and taking people's money through Patreon to fund the continuation of this charade.

It's his website, he can do whatever he wants. You are not a paying customer. Stop being a choosing beggar.

  Reading through your comments, I assume you are either a second account or an accomplice in the author's trolling. I don't care about his language. I care about spreading misinformation to people who don't know any better.

    YOu're dumb if "second account" is your only defense. Downvote and move on, you're not as smart as you think- people here are pretty knowledgeable.

>Of course your code is going to compile faster if you don’t support any platforms or optimizations. And that's fine too. I don't want support for some BS platform slow down the platform 90% of people and servers use. Perhaps add ARM to x86, but that's it.
