  Beware V is infamous for severely overpromising on its website while most of the features it lists are not even started yet. A few years ago it was heatly discussed on HN... Most people seem to agree V is a textbook example of vaporware[1]. [1] https://christine.website/blog/v-vaporware-2019-06-23 https://christine.website/blog/v-vaporware-2019-06-23

    It's 2022 now. They've had 82 releases on GitHub and are in continuous development.

      Agreed. I'm sick of people referencing that damn website from 2.5 years ago. It's not vaporware whatsoever... It has over 12k github commits FFS. It's an excellent language and has a great community on Discord of excellent people. Frankly the more I read on HN the more I think Zig, Nim, (possibly Rust) supporters here are rather toxic to the community.

        Hey, I am not a supporter or hater of any language... if the claims made back then are no longer correct, just point it out by writing a blog post showing how much progress has been made and how the claims made on the website are now all accurate... you don't just get trust back automatically because you're working hard on the problem... you need to show how you've addressed the issues, how each claim you made on the website is now provably true, and why we should believe you to not be lying again when clearly, you lied before.
