We will see once you release the source code, but for now maybe tone down the language on your site and in your comments. Of course your code is going to compile faster if you don’t support any platforms or optimizations. If you’re really serious about building a programming language I suggest porting V to llvm IR so you can focus on the parts you’re obviously more interested in.

And that's fine too. I don't want support for some BS platform slow down the platform 90% of people and servers use.

Perhaps add ARM to x86, but that's it.

It's his website, he can do whatever he wants. You are not a paying customer. Stop being a choosing beggar.

If you think the accounts are related, mail hn@yc and tell them so. The guidelines explicitly ask you not to write comments like these in public. Please stop.

The website doesn't claim V does optimization in the fast builds. On the opposite, everything is explained very clearly.

Supporting more platforms will not make compilation slower.

No thanks :) I'd like to keep 1.5 million loc per second.
