Let's not discount the hundreds of contributors, sponsors, and other developers that continually make contributions to and improve V.

The impression should not be given that V is just a one-man show. Many of the offshoot projects are in collaboration with others, not just the author, who have invested heavily in them and also wanted or helped create them.

Even when they are known to be scammers and frauds?

V's author is paying others to write things in V (even when basic functionalities don't work as advertised). They don't want to improve the language, they want to create a showcase to attract more funding, that's about it.

  • From what I've seen, V's author (along with other contributors and sponsors) have been constantly improving the language. Of which, these efforts are applauded by V's users and supporters.

    As far as I'm concerned, V works as described in their documentation. As with any language, there are some specifics that are subject to interpretation or debate, but that is to be expected.

    And, V is not doing anything that other languages also try to do in terms of sponsors and investors to sustain progress, increase popularity, or make improvements.

  • This is a complete lie.

    • Like what is lie? I was offered money to develop something in WASM using V, so that they could add it to their "awesome-v" list.

      Aren't you the part of the core team who bans anyone on discord who asks questions about V's memory management?
