It's one thing to actually use something and criticize, its another to not even use the language and assume things. > Such as the famous "autofree" where everyone doubted it could work and the solution now was.... to drop in boehm-gc. Autofree is still part of Vlang. Also, many other languages have multiple methods of memory management. Which many argue is a good thing. Take for example, Nim, which has several (see below). Yet, I have never seen anybody at HN lose their minds over it and bash Nim about it. Nim has: gc:refc, gc:markAndSweep, gc:boehm, gc:go, gc:arc, etc... So exactly why can't Vlang have both AutoFree and GC? Yeah, the correct answer is that it should not be a problem. And as a newer developing language, they should be allowed to experiment to find what works best, as the other languages before it. |
