I remember the hubbub a year (or longer? another covid timewarp) ago when this first came out. It looks like now the dev of V is just pulling under 1K a month so it's not like he's making bank so if they're still just grifting it's not really working.
- ylluminate 5y agoNo grifting going on. We have a vibrant awesome community that feels very Ruby-like in many ways. Good people.
- vlang1dot0 5y agoHe lives in Sweden where the cost of living is quite a bit lower than most of the US and also has people contributing to him on GitHub. A quick Google search suggests it's quite possible to live on $1k a month in Sweden for one person but I admit I have no personal experience in that point. Edit: I was wrong about the location but that does not change my opinion.
- ylluminate 5y agoNo, he does not live in Sweden.
- eberkund 5y agoThe cost of living in Sweden is not quite a bit lower than most of the US. It may be less than Manhattan or SF but it's certainly not cheap, especially compared to most of the US. I visited Sweden a few years back and found most things to be very expensive and I just did a quick Google search now to confirm before writing this comment.
