Thanks for saying all this, probably one of the more mature insights. Personally I find V to already be a fine language - it improves on everything I feel Go just slightly missed the mark on. Regarding the hostility towards the performance claims; even if they aren't reaching those claims, the language is nonetheless extremely fast - so fast, that missing the claims is a mute point from a user perspective. It uses TCC on the backend; which everyone knows, and nobody disputes, is a very small and fast compiler. I understand/derive people are maybe upset the author is getting Patreon/Github donations based (in their opinion) on these 'false' claims. I don't think that's the case at all - people are thinking it's causation, when it's mere correlation. It's a still-obscure language, and it's not like they are selling Norwex cleaning supplies at a convention of everyday people walking by. The landing page isn't attracting your family relative, compelling them to donate money on Patreon. It's an extremely small group of people that are going to pay even the slightest interest to the project. People who have an interest in a boutique languages and providing monetary support are more than likely doing so out of interest in the project's goals (obtainable, or otherwise), appealing syntax, ambitions of the author, github activity, and general goodness; not solely off some bullets on a landing page - especially in a world where we know 99% of that is always shilled bullshit from VC's, bigbox products, etc. etc. Undoubtedly, the author could have maybe done better PR - who doesn't stumble at first though? Like, really. Everything I see referenced is from articles 2.5-3 years old... from a single blog to boot. Notwithstanding, the donations (which seem to be the target of most peoples comments), are around $1,000/month; this isn't really a large amount of money; but people are acting like this is $20,000/month.
