Not a good comparison, given how bad of a track record in "adapting" the truth the vlang author has.

This is a myth.

V compiles itself in <1s, can translate entire DOOM, has a working kernel/OS (Vinix), 10k+ PRs, 600+ contributors etc.

While the bad track record you mention is about junk like git/libc dependencies and system("curl") (doesn't happen).

Can you list actual lies?
