Tene’s post is the most reasonable and valuable feedback you’ve gotten in this entire thread. Your reply should have been one of thanks and appreciation, not confrontational and argumentative.

Honestly, from the outside reading this thread you probably shouldn’t have come here in the first place. I get you want to defend your language, but there’s a fine line between defending your creation and being argumentative with people who don’t actually mean you harm, and who aren’t trying to take you down.

Your posts here are very defensive, and your tone is argumentative to the point when someone gave you accurate info about using tcc, you refused to believe it and argued about it for several posts. Just listen instead of arguing.

Look, I get you want to defend your creation. But my advice from one lang dev to another is stop posting on hn, and do what you’re good at by working on making your claims about your language bulletproof instead. People have been giving you this advice since you started V years ago but you haven’t taken it. Let V speak for itself. Stop arguing with people on the internet.

The developers of V should feel free to defend or talk about their creation, as they wish, and as other language developers have done on HN.

The situation is also not as simplistic as making claims bulletproof, but also dealing with a continuous concerted effort to smear the language.
