A lot of the hate or controversy is very artificial, where it's orchestrated and manufactured by vlang's adversaries. It's easy to see that people from all over the world are contributors to the project (785 at last count) and enjoy using it (36,500 stars). Along with numerous good reviews[1][2][3]. Clearly, those people are making no concerted effort to do anything sinister, other than continuous development or enjoying vlang.

As common sense will tell us, the only people likely to be upset about the language's consistent progress, are those who feel its a personal threat, have an axe to grind, or swallowed misinformation. Regular folks would not be worried or care, except about what they are using or working on. At the end of the day, it's a programming language, that we can choose to use or move on in life. It's really not or need not be anything more complicated than that.
