Hi, I'm Xe Iaso. I'm never going to write about V again. I'm only keeping my old articles up out of a desire to not break links. Even if I took it down, it's still in the internet archive's wayback machine, so there is no point in me removing my articles.

If the V person unblocks me and unbans me from the places I've been banned from (at least Twitter, GitHub and Discord), I'd be happy to add a disclaimer about the post being "out of date".

I want V to succeed because competition is good, but I also need to call out misleading statements for what they are.

Believe what you want, but I did not write those articles in an attempt to "smear" or "defame" V or its team. I regret writing these articles as they have created negativity and hate that is slung around like candy for no real reason. I have no plans to write anything about V on my blog in the future and this experience has taught me many things about how to write about programming languages in the future.
