For what its worth, the zig site has what is functionally this blog post for its own language: https://ziglang.org/learn/overview/. There's maybe a few spots where I think they could be clearer about some tradeoffs, but overall its very explicit about what the language can and cannot do, and if I were using this post's style, we'd end up with lots of green checks and 1-2 yellow squares, but nothing red.

Which really is the issue here: v makes a big talk but doesn't do what it says on the tin, while other languages, generally speaking, do. There's a difference between goals and features, and Zig distinguishes those well.

Sorry, not yet. New to blogging and this took quite a long time to complete to a level I was satisfied with so it will probably be a while before I complete another one.

It is a very good first blogpost! I look forward to reading more in this genre. I would particularly like to see similar reviews of the Nim, Odin, Zig, and Janet languages.

Do you actually have a substantive rebuttal? "The first and only thing he criticized is V" means nothing at all. What a childish thing to say.

It is a statement of fact. Everyone is free to make their own conclusions from that fact.
