There were many posts both in HN and outside HN including Github, Reddit, Twitter.

His criticism is not constructive. He had Linus style comments.

There is no such thing as "constructive criticism" of suspected fraud -- there were a bunch of red flags, and AK was not remotely alone in sounding the alarm. Do you have constructive criticism to offer, is AK still badgering AN, or are you just airing grievances about 2 year-old drama?

For the record this was my last public statement about V, which I made nearly 2 years ago: https://twitter.com/andy_kelley/status/1142503808901308418

ends with "I'm genuinely glad it turned out this way. Good luck on your endeavor and welcome to the programming languages club."

Thank you for building Zig. It's made a huge impression on me, especially the Road to Zig presentation.

You can criticize anyone constructively. What they are today is not what they are in the future. People can change even Andrew, but if something is repeated over and over, it is a sign of their personality.

I see his act as harassment. I know that Vlang had red flags, but I feel Russophobia or Jealousy in his actions. I looked through everything, but the guy didn't let the man talk and explain himself. So, the other side of the story is hushed up. It's like asking someone to prove their worth, otherwise they'll be killed. Naive Bayes can uncover many cases of fraud, but bias can turn things upside down.

I'd hope that Mr Andrew is not an Anarchist.

Please, show us how that's done. Otherwise, please stop. AK's last word on the matter was rather cordial, and what you're doing here is toxic.
