Borgo has a lot of weird things going on with it. There are only 2 contributors, don't see a license, and is very inactive. Of the other choices given, I think people shouldn't underestimate Kotlin.

A lot of the hate or controversy is very artificial, where it's orchestrated and manufactured by vlang's adversaries. It's easy to see that people from all over the world are contributors to the project (785 at last count) an

Impressive troubleshooting from 15 billion miles away. Crazy to think that Voyager 1 still has another 10 years of usefulness, according to predictions.

I don't understand why Go still resists enums, as if they didn't learn any lessons from continually denying their users generics for so many years.

While I do agree that C3 tries a bit harder to keep closer to the look and feel of C, it has arguably already veered too far away, in order to be modern. These changes can be viewed as unacceptable to many fans of C. C3 has taken on a very

"Null" is not used in "proper" V. It's not a keyword assigned to any variables, outside of unsafe, and even that is strongly discouraged. Additionally, all variables in V have to be initialized with some value and t

In agreement. The unnecessary jabs taken are very obvious. For example, weirdness like attacking the name VPM, which is based on the purpose it serves. Anybody can cherry-pick any language, then generate fake controversy for clicks. Rather

This comes across as a poorly written article that has the intent to capitalize on controversy generated by V's adversaries. Sadly, the author appears to have spent little time doing any studying of the language or community, outside o

When transparency to the public is no longer important, it looks like being able to secretly abuse others has become more important for such agencies. It's back to the public not actually knowing what really happened, except in situati

Not all languages using a GC are designed that way, where libraries are dependent on it. For example, in V (Vlang), none of their libraries need the GC. They also can freely mix memory management methods. There is no ecosystem split, but ra

LLMs aren't that productive. 10k lines from it, is a lot of troubleshooting, from all kinds of errors. Enough so, that one would still do better without it. Not saying LLMs don't have their place or can't be helpful, but they

More than that, it's clear that reparations are owed to the affected Vietnamese for the obvious chemical warfare campaign. That it's even a doubt, is basically immoral and anti-humanity.

V's GC can be turned off. V's libraries do not rely on the GC. Check out their Vinix[0] project (where they built an OS). They have other such projects. Better to review more balanced and neutral takes on V[1][2], where the review

It's a language in beta and larger project (so more users). Take Zig for instance (also in beta), it has over 3,000 issues[0], and that's 3X more than Vlang. People run into problems using Zig all of the time. Any language can be

Most of it looks like unprofessionalism among language creators, throwing haymakers at a competitor. Of course languages have significant technical differences, but that also pertains to their different goals, purposes, and users.

That's going to be the case with any of these languages which are still in beta (Zig, Odin, Jai, Vlang, C3, etc...). Not saying you in particular, but it's weird, how too many won't tolerate running into some problems when th

Comptime is often pushed as being something extraordinarily special, when it's not. Many other languages have similar. Jai, Vlang, Dlang, etc... What could be argued, is if Zig's version of it is comparatively better, but that is

South Korea's Kia is in a strong position. They are not China and Tesla has imploded. A nice looking and affordable electric car from them can get market share.

An argument can easily be make that Jai could have been released as closed-source, some time ago. Many fans and the curious, just want to be able to get their hands on it. Jon is not going to stop public reaction nor will Jai be perfect, re

Amazingly, in agreement with most of this. The sooner that Jai is released, the more likely it will be a Zig popularity disruptor. And Zig is definitely vulnerable. It has a large amount of issues, is dealing with trying to maintain being a
