There's people that have what it takes to build something like V, and then there's the rest of us, that spend our time ranting online.

There's people that have what it takes to build something like V, and then there's the rest of us, that spend our time ranting online.
- coldtea 4y agoAnd there are also people who have built even harder projects than V, but can still criticize projects with issues and rant with the best of them! The absolute dichotomy being "doers" and "criticizers" is false. Linus could criticize things just fine.
- scns 4y agoHave seen Linus giving the finger to Nvidia, but not ranting on a forum about a new language.
- _andrei_ 4y agoDoers can of course criticize, but serious devs won't bash a new and unfinished language, just because the author of the project had the audacity to promise something "so unrealistic". Healthy people saw V, maybe read about it, saw the great promises, and thought "Ha, that sounds unlikely, but it's not a bad idea, it would be insane if this worked! Shoot for the stars, aim for the moon.". For others, the promises were outrageous and anything remotely close to them "impossible". I don't get why it got personal for some of us, and it's stupid how involved people were over the years (hey Xe, you're so skilled, why waste your energy) into bashing this random project.
