Can you give some citations / references?

FTR, I found his (former?) eul\.im which now redirects to some fishy website.

That's what I referred to. His comment history looks like he is advertising his chat apps all the time. One comment pointed out, that eul.im was 4MB in size but loaded a browser runtime upon initial start, also he never opened the source. I'm not saying that he is a scam or anything but that product page makes some very huge claims and has little to no proof for V's existence. So I think it is too soon to celebrate the new GOAT in the programming language game.

The claim that the language is guaranteed thread safe without data races is also unsubstantiated. Avoiding data races, and more importantly, dead and live-lock, are incredibly difficult problems to solve.

V looks interesting, but I'll wait and see before I jump onboard.

Sadly, that's the conclusion I came too after reading more details/responses.

Lots of handwaving, things mentioned as language features on the webpage and then revealed to not be present (in responses), and lack of specifics...
