This is a mostly content-free reply that casts vague aspersions; it's not especially helpful when someone asks, essentially, hey, what's going on here? to then respond that they may be interested in looking into what's going on. Of course they're interested—that's where the question comes from, after all. Please respond meaningfully, then, and abstain from replying with non-specific ad hominem.
- amedvednikov 4y agoThank you. I got really tired of these vague accusations over the last 3 years.
- the_duke 4y agoLook, I'm not hostile towards the initiator or the language. I'm happy to give V a chance in the future. But it started out with huge promises that could never be kept, and were tied to fund raising. This is why there was so much skepticism in the beginning, and why you are facing so much hostility now. The way to change that is by professionalism and convincing arguments, benchmarks, showing how the promises are kept and responding to criticism in a good faith manner by providing technical explanations. Not by responding with more hostility. It's also perfectly fine for fans of the language to support it here, but there are many "content-free" posts in this submission that just hype up V with minimal value-add... I personally don't see an ad-hominem in my post.
- amedvednikov 4y agoCan you please list here the huge promises that could never be kept? 1. 2. 3.
- cxr 4y agoNothing in this comment makes sense as a reply to me or what I wrote. > This is why[...] you are facing so much hostility now. You are confused about something. You seem to think I'm someone else.
