> V and it's creator get a lot of flack here on HN and the criticisms are probably warranted.

Hi fellow Penguin :D!

I'm impressed by the creator's dedication here too, but he's clearly biting off more then he can chew - he's been saying that he's making a

* Web framework * GUI framework * SQL ORM * A language that has a lot of promises - seriously checkout their list. * Github alternative * VIM alternative

This stuff is awesome as a project, but each one of these have teams of dedicated engineers sponsored by many companies to hammer out issues and make them as robust as possible. And while he certainly has working demo's of each, they're demos. There's a huge difference between a POC and a robust framework.

A half baked framework is useless sadly, I think he's spreading himself too thin while have a roadmap that looks like a programmer's christmas list.

As the author states, he is not working alone as the following shows:

When you have a large number of people in Zone 2 and nobody in Zone 1, this is a very good sign that effort is being fairly distributed. And if you look at the activity for the last year:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=comm...

it is extremely active with 98% days active. And if I had to guess, I would say there are at least 5-7 people working on this full time based on the following:

Full Disclosure: I'm the creator of the tool with the insights above.

Not full time, but 5-15 hours/week.

Hey thanks for the insight. It looks like they are pretty productive hours then.

[amedvednikov]

I'm not working on these alone :)

While your here, thank you for the awesome work on the V language!

It pretty much has the (for me, subjectively) ideal features of a small, fast, and static programming language. I've been following it for a while and I'm pretty sure I'll find a good use for it soon!

[amedvednikov]

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

I knew vlang from Volt, been waiting for 3+ years. I agree with some of the parent comment.

But I hold no grudge for you, keep up the spirit and good work.

I hope the project went well

Also

* package manager

* operating system

I think it's good test of lang features
