By default it does use tcc on most platforms, because tcc is awesome for quickly compiling C, and so iteration while prototyping with it is usually much more enjoyable than with gcc, clang or msvc. You can pass `-cc gcc` to use another C co

In a way, I think this story is the opposite, of what would have happened, if an artist made a photograph picture, and presented it, as a hyper realistic painting, back in the days where photography was in its infancy.

Why did it prove to be a red herring? I could write a CLI or GUI Java program, that would run on any OS, for which there is a JVM, and that was easier than doing it in C, C++, Delphi or Perl, which were popular at the time. As far as I know

Yes you have hit your limit in this particular area, but do not worry about it. There is a saying that “A change of perspective is worth 80 IQ points.”, frequently attributed to Alan Kay. In this particular case, you just need to look at 2D

I have never banned people on any platform. Letting them speak and reveal how vile they are is better in my experience.

It is a statement of fact. Everyone is free to make their own conclusions from that fact.

You can actually compile the V compiler with -autofree. The resulting executable however does segfault - try it with: ./v -autofree -o x cmd/v ./x version You seem to talk a lot about things, that you are not wel

Yes, it is a null pointer, produced by the initialization to 0, as you noticed. That is the current state - V wants to prevent setting pointers to arbitrary values, including 0, outside of unsafe code, but not all cases are checked yet, and

Yes, there is a good possible outcome - they post it, we see it, and then, if possible, we take corrective actions. Especially after writing "people will assume that being an asshole is a representative sample of those groups. It is no

> No undefined behavior You do have a point here, and we should update the site and the documentation. The current state of V, is that most of the undefined behaviors of C for numbers are also undefined in V too.

I assure you, that V is a very serious project, and its README is not full of desires, whatever that means. As for the source tree full of incompetence - that may be so, if you can help, you are welcome to make PRs to improve it. As incompe

What are the qualitative levels in your opinion? The V compiler is self hosting for example, there are useful examples done in the main repo, people are using it for writing web servers. What it should do, to "qualify", and to qua

I think/hope that it is still like that, just that haters are a subset of people, whose opinions are currently disproportionately magnified.
