Exactly. Yet and for example, Zig and Nim articles are posted at will without issue. Recently, Zig related ones have been very numerous, as if people had invested stock into it. In contrast, Vlang related ones often get flagged for unknown reasons. Quite strange. Where is the fairness?

Well, Zig hasn't been numerous. If you do a search on Rust and Zig you will see Rust submission is something like 10-20:1 ratio with headline going at 3-5:1 within one month period. But yes zig is getting some traction on HN. (I have been tracking it ever since Rust people complain about the number of Zig submissions. )

And HN has a hatred for Vlang because arguably it start off in the wrong foot with too many over promising features. I thought we should give Vlang some benefits of doubt. Instead HN simply shoot down all Vlang submission. And it only takes a few people flagging it for it to disappeared from the front page. Yes I dont think it is fair. I wish we can all submit some obscure, unknown programming language to the front page. Unfortunately I am not sure what the solution to that would be, may be email @dang about it?
