I don't care about all that fuzz-buzz, no nitpicks here as well, all I care about is here: https://github.com/vlang/v/issues https://github.com/vlang/v/issues

I don't care about all that fuzz-buzz, no nitpicks here as well, all I care about is here: https://github.com/vlang/v/issues https://github.com/vlang/v/issues Lovely language, but above scares me off for now. Respect to all involved and hope one day will be a day where there will be only a super sophisticated bugs left that affects 0.01% of users.

Before using V I had a similar concern. However I then looked at Go and see it has 7.5k issues on GitHub. Granted much bigger user base = more stuff uncovered.... So for right or wrong, 7.5k issues in 100K stars versus 750 issues on 30k stars... It doesn't look so crazy suddenly. Personally I like to see issues as it means people are actually using the language, finding bugs, and driving incremental improvement. A project with 0 issues barely indicates flawless implementation no more than the possibility it simply has 0 users.

  May I ask what for you're using V? And what are your biggest concerns about V at this stage?

    I'm using V mostly for data science related applications (in production). Honestly my biggest fear is that this constant V backlash is going to do serious harm to the community and seriously impede development/adoption... I have no concerns with the language itself or the development thereof - only the consequences of threads such as these, which surface every other week. I entered in with realistic expectations from something that is version 0.3; unlike others who seem to think version 0.3 means "Mars lander ready".

      I think V will persevere, because the community has enough support and momentum to continue, and because the direction and syntax of the language will continually attract as well. Even the outrageous trolling and harsh criticisms also brings attention and curiosity about the language, that other developing languages can't and don't get. V will stay in people's minds and on their lips, keeping it popular. Many critics will say one thing, but will also be trying and using V, and it has been the case they become contributors to the language or are eager to see its next release. As the language makes corrections and continually improves, it's "baptism by fire", will make it even more viable and useful upon each release and in the long run.

All popular languages have more open bugs on github.
