I don't have a horse in this race, but when a language makes present-tense claims about its features I assume that they're already functioning features.

People are poking holes in V because its claims are unfounded, not because they've decided they're in competition with the language. A simple "work in progress" sign on the features in question would draw a lot of fire away from the language and its creator.

Indeed! I even mentioned this in my "Rules of engagement" section:

> Features indicated to be incomplete/work in progress/unimplemented will be mentioned as such.

Indicating on the vlang.io homepage how much of the language has yet to be realized would go a long way in my opinion.

After I criticized the project for collecting donations on deceitful information, the author put purple "WIP" labels next to a bunch of stuff [1] which led me to make this statement [2]. However, it looks like medvednikov has since removed the "WIP" labels.

From his perspective, he's been Working on them ;)

Credit to both you and him for the passion and effort put in. I just think his excitement bubbles over into an unfortunate way of communicating (lets call it cute)

Communication is something you're excellent at, in a large part due to your truthfulness

I just think vlang is living in and expressing dreams and visions. Which I agree has problems, but creating a language is an aspirational endeavour

You know something, some of us are HAPPY donators for 3 years now and we're fine and feel that our investment is worthy. I really think you are terribly misrepresenting the situation.
