It's interesting how the language author of V was bullied and harrassed for his early language [0] and with time V has made very substantial progress with C2V [1], and an OS written in V [2] and various language improvements. This (and many future updates of V) has now rendered pretty much most criticisms in this attack post irrelevant, after all of this V is gaining traction, a community forming around the language and with great backing, It goes to show that programmers are far too quick to jump the gun on languages. I congratulate Alex for persisting on V.

Publishing a few critical articles is not bullying and harassment.

  Yet we see this harassment continuing on this thread. The article I linked is just a drop in the ocean. Nitpicking over leaking bytes and language features every release is exhausting for the language author when we both know these will be fixed in another release. The fact I see activity in language and that the author is active gives me confidence in V.

I don't know what will be fixed in another release. Nitpicking to you was useful to decide if V was worth my time now.

      Who said it was just that person? The harassment is still continuing on this thread and has happened on other threads and posts where V is posted.

        You said Xe Iaso bullied and harassed the V author. I said the articles weren't bullying and harassment. You said this harassment continued. Did you mean you were wrong about Xe Iaso but other harassment started? > The harassment is still continuing on this thread I saw little or none. I understand it feels like harassment when someone believes their critics are conspiring and malicious.

        Yes, it did, it is bullying and harassment no matter if it was past or present. I would also go to say it is pretty much toxic behavior as well, and yet it is still continuing on the V author by others in this thread. > I saw little or none. I've assumed you read the comments against V in this thread and it seems like you clearly haven't. Also, you're not the person being harassed about memory leaks after the author said this was fixed already.

        Hi, I'm Xe Iaso. I'm never going to write about V again. I'm only keeping my old articles up out of a desire to not break links. Even if I took it down, it's still in the internet archive's wayback machine, so there is no point in me removing my articles. If the V person unblocks me and unbans me from the places I've been banned from (at least Twitter, GitHub and Discord), I'd be happy to add a disclaimer about the post being "out of date". I want V to succeed because competition is good, but I also need to call out misleading statements for what they are. Believe what you want, but I did not write those articles in an attempt to "smear" or "defame" V or its team. I regret writing these articles as they have created negativity and hate that is slung around like candy for no real reason. I have no plans to write anything about V on my blog in the future and this experience has taught me many things about how to write about programming languages in the future.
