> ...overpromised and underdelivered on many features...
We could argue that all programming languages that aren't 1.0, have not delivered yet. So, with that same energy, it will be interesting to go chase around supporters of Jai, Mojo, Zig, Odin, etc... with the same rhetoric.
Vlang is "delivering" to its users, as evident by its near weekly updates, VPM, or Awesome V site. It's an open-source project and language. Developers are free to join the project to ensure "delivery of the product".
Else if they are not using said product, they don't have to worry about it. It would be bizarre for any person to be so preoccupied with something one doesn't want to use, unless maybe competitors who are afraid of that language.
> ...shelling out to other executables like curl.
Vlang doesn't use curl in its modules. Everyone is free to check its source code. It has it's own such functionality, written in V. So That's looks like misinformation.
> ...defensiveness of Vlang supporters...
Didn't know about this new rule, where if one posts a response 16 days later, the other isn't allowed to make a counter point.
By the way, don't represent "all" Vlang supporters. Just giving my personal opinions, here on HN, like others are allowed to.
> It might have all been fixed by now...
If one doesn't know anything about the thing they are talking down on, then that looks like something very odd is going on. Doesn't make sense to talk about something that one doesn't use, well unless its a competitor or just to troll.
> features on its homepage (without any indication that they were work in progress) that had no implementation and that had no proper prototype...
Maybe there is confusion about what year this is. This is the year 2023. Perhaps what is being referred to is 2019, the first day(s) of the language being released, or mistakes on its website. Here's the thing though, its a free open-source language. Pretty sure such mistakes have happened on websites and with languages before, and will in the future. Furthermore, people choose to use, support, or donate. There's no arm twisting or a weapon being held to the head.
