The last time I asked about how the memory management would work, the conversation was quickly shut down by a vlang dev (not Alex) who grilled on me on why I wanted to know how the language worked. I've seen this same reaction to other newcomers who dare to ask reasonable questions instead of simply drinking the Kool aide.
- ylluminate 5y agoStrange, I'll mention it. There have been a lot of crazy trolls so a few folks are a bit thin on the patience front - especially a few who are crazy hard at work all the time on the language. I do have sympathy for them and they're great folks if you just try to understand the history and their own context a bit.
- vlang1dot0 5y agoI think it would be more productive to direct the attention to https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/1247 https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/1247 which catalogues a number of issues with the proposed approach and yet hasn't had any activity in 9 months.
- super_flanker 5y agoDitto same experience, I asked if somebody could explain me the memory model of V; and all of sudden hell broke loose. I was asked why do I need to know how memory model worked, are you a troll, if you don't contribute to the lang you're not welcome here. Never asked a second question again.
- vlang1dot0 5y agoYep. Very telling when no one on the server can explain it and anyone who asks is silenced.
