Don’t forget this one: https://christine.website/blog/OVE-20190623-0001 https://christine.website/blog/OVE-20190623-0001 I wouldn’t even for a second using web-facing services from someone with a security track record this bad.

The best bit is this excerpt from the standard library (2019): fn download_file(url, out string) { // println('\nDOWNLOAD FILE $out url=$url') // -L follow redirects // println('curl -L -o "$out" "$url"') os.system2('curl -s -L -o "$out" "$url"') // res := os.system('curl -s -L -o "$out" "$url"') // println(res) } Here's what that file looks like today: https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/vlib/net/http/download_nix.c.v https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/vlib/net/http/downloa...

  No, this file is no longer used. We have a fully working net module: https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/vlib/net/http https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/vlib/net/http

    In that case, you ought to be mocked for making a mess of the repository by keeping unused files in it.

      Come on, that's just mean. I don't really understand the negativity against V; is there something wrong with setting crazy goals if you're actually working towards them?

      Why should anyone be mocked for anything? How is that conducive to the conversation? You should rethink how you convey your ideas, IMO.

  I don't get it, is that file's function bodies just comments now? Or does /* */ not mean a comment in V?

  I really don't understand why everyone is making fun of what is clearly a stub implementation. Have we not all written code like this so we can go work on some other part of the code that depends on this?

    Most of us also don't splash it all over hn/reddit like it's the second coming of Christ.

      Most of us also do not name ourselves based on things we hate...
    - junon 5y ago
      You're early obsessed and make it a large portion of your existence to hate something with such a deep passion. It's astonishing.
      - vlang1dot0 5y ago
        Frankly it's rather amusing.
  - delian66 5y ago
    The people that are making fun of V, instead of helping, at this point are nothing more than hateful jerks imho. They just want to hate something - if not V, it would be something else.

Meh. I have some issues with the criticisms there, but they make some okay points too. I don't see this as a reason to dismiss the entire language though. I've seen more damning arguments against Go, Rust, Zig, etc.
- vlang1dot0 5y ago
  The languages you've listed generally work as advertised and while you might dislike some of the design decisions or tradeoffs inherent in those decisions, ultimately, they do what they claim to. The same cannot be said of V.

    You say that and then do nothing to back it up.
