V is not a finished product nor 1.0 yet. It's unproductive to act like things were carved in stone, from day 1. Programming languages go through development phases, where things do change and lead developers are allowed to make changes.

I completely agree.

But gaslighting people and pretending that overly grandiose claims/promises haven't been made in the past leaves a bitter taste, and doesn't inspire trust in core developers. Instead, it makes me think that the core devs are incapable of admitting a mistake - which would make their language a hazard.

For example, what if V gets huge and a serious security bug gets discovered - how can I trust that the developers will properly communicate the existence of such a bug and not just keep quiet about it, consider how they aren't even willing to admit that V has made some impossible claims/promises in the past? If I discover a bug, will they also pretend that the bug doesn't exist, even when confronted with indisputable evidence, because it threatens to damage their reputation?

As long as that attitude doesn't change, I'm not touching V with a 10 foot pole.

There's no pretending, see my reply to you above.

[bheadmaster]

You're still pretending that V has never made an impossible claim, which I have clearly demonstrated that it has.

See my numerous replies to you in this thread, where I have quoted the documentation, provided the archive.org link and explained why the claim is impossible.

Do you have any other argument except "nuh-uh, didn't happen, lol"?

[amedvednikov]

You still haven't listed any impossible claims, only something about autofree and GC copied from the website. What's impossible about that?
