How are things going with V btw? In the past i've seen some bad press about this programming language.

It was nice to use when I tried to dabble with it.

My understanding:

- The bad press was because the initial public release on GitHub did not implement most of the things seemed like they're implemented, (Rust like memory safety etc.)

- Over time it actually saw contributions from a lot of people and is kind of decent now, be it not as polished as Go, Rust, D etc.

- It is super easy to use, so kind of attracts an audience.

The bad press was because after some people tried to call them out for not shipping features that were claimed in the release, those people were banned from further contribution/commenting on github.

Ouch. That's definitely worse than I assumed.

And the lead dev would come into any thread on HN or Reddit and argue with people.

It still compiles in 0.5s:

10k+ bugs fixed, only ~40 open github issues.
