The problem is that although the creator is gifted, he seems to not have much theoretical PL design knowledge. That is an issue for something as complex as this; this automatic memory management without a GC is cutting edge research and we don't know if we can make it work without making sacrifices like Rust did. You have to sacrifice something and that means while you won't have to worry about memory management, the work for the programmer becomes harder. Or just use a GC.

If you check V's GitHub, it's clear to see they have many contributors and developers who are professional programmers or have extensive backgrounds.
