Been toying with vlang for a while now and may well use it in my next side-project - honestly feel to me like the modern C I could have dreamt up. Especially wh

  It looks like it could be that, but I have trouble trusting the author. He makes a lot of promises he doesn't keep. The more minor ones are things like release dates that have been pushed back month after month, but for instance volt has been abandoned for almost a year. I'm starting to think of v as more of a real thing after this much steady development (even if release dates are meaningless), but probably wouldn't trust a project to it until the community could sustain development if amedvednikov got hit by a bus tomorrow.

    From my perspective the project has progressed faster in years than many projects do in a decade so development is certainly happening rapidly. As to the promised dates that for me is similar to internal company deadlines for software projects - they are almost never on time but as an end-user I would be non the wiser. Amedvednikov's issue here was that he stated his deadlines to the world at large; I have certainly committed the same mistake many times over before I got more conservative re. making any hard deadlines on complex problems & do not feel that means anyone should rightly write off my dev commitment or sincerity re engagement in a project.
