These type of features (map, filter, closures, lambdas...) are in languages like Vlang, Dlang, Rust, etc... They aimed to provide more functional programming style features and always were about general-purpose programming. Zig presented it

First, for clarification, V developers can not control who writes books on the language. To say otherwise, looks to be about projection, as to what competitors have done or plan to do. The first book written about V (5 years ago), looks to

Have the feeling that cheaper unethically sourced bodies would be the majority of the market, if ever usage of "spare" bodies were to happen.

Things are easier to break than they are to fix. The next president, if there will be another, will not be able to easily glue the pieces back together.

Have to disagree. Some type of solid metric has to be used, beyond claims by fans or language creators bombarding multiple social media sites. First, "future prospect", is a claim almost any language can try to make. Unless it is

Wikipedia and their processes are independent to any language. It means that if Odin or other languages were removed, they were likely judged as not meeting the standard or not popular enough. That the Odin language is so old (around 9 year

This thread literally meets the definition of self-promotion. So no, don't think the characterization is unfair. If your programming language had a different name, then I would agree, but it doesn't. Many will assume that C3 is th

The problem with that line of reasoning is we are now in the nuclear age. After a major nuclear war, there will likely be no humans to have babies.

Not only are the poor going to bear the brunt of these tariffs, but this has been tried multiple times before, and failed. As in, catastrophic failure. "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" People shoul

Arguably, what you describe, is closer to what C2 was/is[1]. By the way, C2 is still alive, for those that care to look. C3 (link[2]) is a fork of/inspired by C2, which appears to have incorporated a lot of Odin and Jai "flav

I like your take about this. Teams play the game based on their strengths. Basketball is clearly global, and has many fans. The hero stories and rivalries are there to be told and enjoyed. Where the sour taste can come from, is the style of

> Zig bdfl himself accused vlang of committing fraud a while back. That was truly foul. On top of that, begged readers to give their money to Zig. Clearly some have no limits on what to say and do against other languages or to sell their

This is a good point about narrative spreading, in addition to marketing. People can become evangelized by their use of certain languages or by comments from certain language creators, then go on to attack others for using or even just want

If people are referring to what Zig or any other language could possibly do, as something valid to be taken under consideration, then it should at least be explicitly stated in their roadmap. Otherwise, it can be construed as just another w

Good point. There is no confirming the data was actually deleted, beyond the request to do so. There is nobody to go after, as the new owner does not have to respect the request, unless a court orders them to do so. Even in that case, going

I'm not sure why you have the take that plastic pollution is not a problem. If anything, it is a massive catastrophe that threatens the environment and possibly the human race. Plastic pollution is destroying the environment[1], wildli

That Lazarus can be used for Android, comes from jmpessoa[1]. He is an independent, that's not part of the developer team. Users were asking and begging, for years, for a Lazarus solution to develop mobile apps (check the OS section of

Lazarus real problem, looks to be that they refused to embrace using it for mobile development. Which is odd. Almost as if Delphi's owner wouldn't allow it. Lazarus seems to handicap itself, for unknown reasons. They finally and k

Another aspect of this argument, is that Zig is supposedly not about adding many features, in order to live up to its claim of being a small and simple language, with an emphasis on systems programming. Where on the other hand, Rust's

Agree. If there is no correction or counter, then this allows a negative narrative or falsehoods to be continually pushed. By people seeing that there is at least another side to the argument, it can promote fact checking, fairness, or open

It would be fair to say that many would disagree or have different opinions about the language and the creator. V's creator has an open discussion for criticism[1], which many other languages don't have. After reading various rela

Many would argue those aren't real reviewers. It has been mentioned that these persons behind the "V Language Review" series don't review other programming languages and are very specifically targeting V. It is easy to c

Great project. Something else, that needs to be said, is that you should not allow others to make you feel ashamed for using programming languages that you like. No reason to succumb to others who are trying to force switching to what they
