You consider the phrase "[lang] must die" a death threat?
Only the author of the vaporware articles said that, AFAIK.

Only the author of the vaporware articles said that, AFAIK.
If that article hasn't been changed since the publication, the strongest statement is "as it stands I recommend against using it for anything" AFIAK, and it is far from saying "it must die". She even gave many suggestions for improvement, some of which are shared with mine. I think you are reading too much from those criticisms.
The author said "V must die" in an HN comment here long after posting the articles.
I failed to locate such a comment. And even if there was one and got removed later, the last known position is that she regret to write an article that can be perceived as toxic, no matter her intent [1].
