Yes, we know, this is always your reply. We also know that boehm-gc is just temporary until you fixed the issues with autofree. Do let me know when that happens.
Well you said it doesn't work, which is not true. You also claimed this about half of the features on the list, which is also not true.

Regarding autofree/gc, here's a good summary from another comment here:

There isn't any reason why Vlang can't have both autofree and boehm-gc. I don't understand the "must be this or that only" logic being applied to it. Other popular programming languages also have multiple memory management options, and so can Vlang.
