The lead developer and very vocal community members brigade HN every time V is mentioned. They form the basis of my opinion of your whole community — you maybe should send some more measured voices here if you feel they don’t represent you. The impression they give off has informed my opinion, and if you don’t like that it’s your job to change my opinion through positive interactions. Meanwhile I’ll voice my opinion as much as I like thank you very much.

The words in quotes are from what appear to be ambassadors of the V language here on HN. If you feel they don’t represent your community, maybe ask them to stop brigading instead of asking me to shut my mouth? Just another example of the V community I guess…

My job, thank God, is not to please entitled rude people on HN.

If you have some problem, you can simply address people individually, without attacking an entire community of many, that share a common interest in a programming language.

  • Sadly, that's not how community management and representation works, and you should know that. If the people in the V community who post here aren't representative of the V community, then maybe send community members who have better people skills.

    The people you send are the people who represent all of you. Sorry if you think that's unfair, but that's the reputation you're building. That's not on me, that's on you.

  • What you and your community do on HN reflects on you, regardless of what anyone else does. You're earning your reputation one post at a time. I mean, several of your posts here are dead and flagged. Take a hint. Your evangelism isn't working here, it's doing the opposite of what you want.

    My suggestion is to work on your C++ to V translation engine instead of posting here. Maybe you'll move it past the early stage.

    • You're spamming this thread and with your anti V attacks, have a bunch of them downvoted and flagged, and are teaching me about communication...

      So rude indeed.
