I wouldn't call it "fake", but yes, it has not been publicly released.

  I’m honestly way more interested in Jai.

      Here is a link to a primer written by the community: https://github.com/BSVino/JaiPrimer/blob/master/JaiPrimer.md https://github.com/BSVino/JaiPrimer/blob/master/JaiPrimer.md Right now, the only way to actually see the language in action is to tune in to Jonathan's livestreams on Twitch. He is writing his next game entirely in Jai. He also streams compiler development every now and then (last night was a compiler stream).

That's not particularly charitable. The accidental AMA that happened on HN a few weeks back gave me the impression that V lang isn't as polished as a concept as some of the other offerings out there. BUT the author seemed tp have something brewing. And regardless we'll have some more evidence in the coming months. Regardless, V lang is another data point that something besides C is a possibility with the modern tools that we have available to us. Whether or not it pans out is almost immaterial. Just the fact that so many people are finding some sort of success or making some sort of progress in this space is enough for me to continue to watch for any new progress in the C competitors.

  Yes, V is at a very early stage. I merely created an "about" page, then it got posted, got lots of attention, so I created a website and recently released a playground: https://vlang.io/play https://vlang.io/play There's still a lot of work to do, but the language is going to be open-sourced very soon in early June.

    i don't want to sound harsh but in 2010s, the way you released (I assume you're V author) mostly make people dubious
    - amedvednikov 8y ago
      Well I haven't released anything yet :) Can you elaborate?

        Mainly because it seems like you constantly lie and make promises you can't keep. Some of your claims are outrageous without any evidence. Of course I would like to be proven wrong.

        Can you give an example of my "constant lies" and outrageous claims?

        Release dates have been consistently been pushed back for basically the last year. For months your program's website looked like it supported a lot of programs it didn't. Be clear and upfront about what you can do and people will trust you more.
