Adding a mention that V is still far from 1.0 in the title or at the beginning would have been honest.

V’s Github description from October 2019 would have disagreed

  • Hopefully what is not being suggested is that creators of open-source programming languages are not allowed to revise their release schedules, underestimate, or change the number of features it will have.

    Languages such as Nim have took 11 years before reaching 1.0, so V is still doing comparatively well. V's pace of development has been quite fast and substantial. More comparable languages such as Zig and Odin have yet to hit 1.0 as well, and are many years older.

    Yes, the pace of development is getting faster and user patience less, but V should still be afforded some leeway in this regard.
