you should check the video where they translate doom source to V and compile it[1], almost flawless... the C2V is just a few days old feature, and it is incredible how well works. The more I read about V the more I cannot believe it. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oXrz3oRoEg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oXrz3oRoEg

Thanks! Glad you like it :) We're really proud of C2V and DOOM.v.

They've been working on C2V for a long time now and even still it falls over quickly for anything other than the exact version of doom they are using. Multiline comments crash the tool for instance.

  Complete lies. DOOM is full of multiline comments. And we have a bunch of non DOOM tests.

  I don't know what the story behind your account is, but it looks like you've been posting mostly in threads on this one topic for a couple years now. That's not cool on HN, regardless of how good or bad you feel a programming language is. (I noticed that you've also posted a few comments about other languages, like Rust and C++, but they're a minority of your posts, and unfortunately quite a few have been flamewar comments too - which is not what this site is for.) HN is for intellectually curious, respectful conversation on topics that interest you. Since agenda-driven or single-purpose accounts aren't compatible with that, we don't allow them here. We also don't allow trollish usernames (see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20trollish%20username https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...), which given the account history, this looks like. I've banned the account for that reason, but if you want to pick a different username, we'd be happy to rename it and unban it. hn@ycombinator.com is the best place to let us know what username you'd prefer. It would be good to review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and make sure you're down with using HN as intended, too.

    Yes! Thank you! I have noticed this account constantly trolling V posts as well, amongst a few other user accounts. I feel it's fine to express concerns in one or two posts, but to repeat them for years is wrong and bullying. Is there a way to submit these accounts or report them?
