Not exactly, because what I'm saying is that the V website and documentation is explaining what autofree does, describing what autofree is, and how it works. It appears you are implying that if autofree doesn't work perfectly as it is described, then that indicates a false claim or deception. The counter to that (and what I'm saying) is that the website and documentation states that autofree is WIP and even recommends not to use it, and tells users that at this time GC is used instead. There is no deception, they are being clear. So if the user goes against the recommendation of the documentation, they should not be surprised that WIP autofree in alpha status V, is not working perfectly. Furthermore, autofree does exist. We are not talking about a lie or false claim, where something is not in existence. Autofree does function, so here too, we are not talking about something that does not work at all. We are now talking about to the degree it is working or how well it works. Which on that point, the website and documentation both indicate WIP, so a user should not yet expect it to fully function. I further elaborated that if you experiment with it, you may get autofree to work well. But, that can depend on: the program, can require experience using V, some memory management knowledge, and/or going through examples of V programs that use it. The expectation (and what those in the V community are aware of) is that as V goes to higher versions on its way to beta status, we will see better performing versions of autofree that requires less to no needed user knowledge about details. |
