I am the Odin creator. Please don't accuse me of spreading lies when all I have done is shown that your language is just "Not as Advertised", which I originally stated in this issue: https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/35

Note: You also deleted many comments by other individuals criticizing your claims in that issue too.

"Many comments" (2). Repeating the same lies and misinformation.

Most features requiring AST? Really? Codegeneration not possible to implement json decoding?

It's just as ridiculous as claims here like V depening on glfw and freetype.

JSON decoding of the kind you want requires either run time type information or a high level metaprogramming system, of which you store the data for the types in a sort of tree, which you could call a typed abstract syntax tree (typed AST).

Stating that V has no dependencies and then requiring dependencies means the original statement is false.
