Okay so do something about it. It’s been over 3 days since the blog post was written and all you’ve done since then is mount the same complaints here about how unfair the blog was.

Go write your own blog post. Submit it to hn. Refute all the points in the blog with evidence and code. Then we can have a follow up discussion with more substance.

At this point, you’ve made your position clear and you’re talking in circles. The way you combat a negative story is with a positive story. Whining about how unfair everyone is being to your favorite new language is a perfect way to limit its growth.

As such a small community, your personal behavior on public forums defines the tone of the entire V community for outsiders. You should critically analyze your posts here and ask yourself if they leave the impression of a community people would want to join.

I'm not here to speak for all members of the V community, as it appears your are trying to pigeonhole me as doing, for your narrative. My personal opinions are in no way reflective of their entire community.

It also appears you prefer to see negative opinions or commentary about V, and are getting overly upset or obsessed with those you believe are defending the language in any way. I'm simply responding to a thread on HN (as you are), that was not made by me, and calling out things that I see or believe to be unfair.

The V community has open discussions that anybody can join and make comments on. You can also freely create an appropriate discussion at the V GitHub. This is something that it appears you don't know about (and what the OP purposely avoided), as you're "talking in circles" with me and giving your opinions about "whining". The link to it is below.

What don't you like about V / what would you like to be changed? (https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/7610)

You can also interact with the V community on discord as well. (https://discord.com/invite/vlang)

You are free to go there and submit your many opinions about what the members of the V community should or should not be doing. Even better, as you seem to describe yourself as very technical and knowledgeable. You would be commenting directly to them. In general, they are very receptive, open, and friendly.

Unfortunately for you, the V community is small and you tend to come here on HN, so you are who we see as an ambassador for V. You are a defacto representative of the community even if you do t see yourself as such. The way you comport yourself here reflects on the entire community. Fair? No. But if you read the comments here and in other threads, you’re definitely leaving an impression as to the entire V community.

> You are free to go there and submit your many opinions about what the members of the V community should or should not be doing.

I don’t have many opinions, I have one opinion and I have given it to you. Stop arguing on the internet and just make your claims bulletproof.

There is no "we", everybody on here does not think as you do. Better to clearly speak for yourself.

> ...defacto representative of the community...

If you bothered to read and pay attention, the creator of V posted on this thread. This includes other V contributors (that debated some technical points), and long time proud paying supporters of V (who have identified themselves as such).

I have also clearly (and now repeatedly) told you that I'm not the V community nor do my personal opinions represent them. I'm expressing my opinions on HN, as you are, which refer to the actions of the OP and the topic of this thread. Anybody with common sense should understand that. Stop being so upset that there are people with different opinions about V and are supportive, not everybody gets off on smearing others or clings to negativity.

> ...make your claims bulletproof

It is not my position nor place to make any claims bulletproof, in reference to V, to your personal satisfaction. If anybody wants to actually address the V community, and tell them their opinions about what they could be doing or share their technical knowledgeable on the subject, then instead of just trying to argue me down specifically, they can go over to where they are at (V Github or discord).
