keep looking and you’ll see why. chaotic-neutral dictator/chief dev categorizes any criticism (regardless of merit) as trolling and bans; language design far exceeds technical merit of implementation details; basically, things only look good on paper, but fall apart once you get past the shallow end of the pool. I went to Nim instead for similar use-cases.

Hm V literally has a big discussion called "What don't you like about V / what would you like to be changed?" https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/7610 https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/7610 What exactly do you think only looks good on paper?

I've been finding it perfectly suitable for this and other projects. Have you updated your point of view after recently attempting to write and profile a non trivial program?

    This AI answer is mostly referencing sources between 2020-2023. The only exception is an article written from last year, which itself admits "Anyone evaluating V for use today should obviously make judgement based on the language's current state.", but doesn't actually do that, it itself regurgitates points from other sources made multiple years ago. I think the recommendation I give is my staple "ABCs". Assume nothing, believe no-one, check everything.

      I love that ABC thing and will be forced to remember it! Good counterpoints. I did investigate it just a few months ago but then found criticisms about its translation of V to C being quite subpar, but eh

        Legit interested, what's subpar about the translation?
