I have a toddler demanding 99% of my free time so I apologize in advance for the LLM shortcut but this looks correct based on my experience

This AI answer is mostly referencing sources between 2020-2023. The only exception is an article written from last year, which itself admits "Anyone evaluating V for use today should obviously make judgement based on the language's current state.", but doesn't actually do that, it itself regurgitates points from other sources made multiple years ago. I think the recommendation I give is my staple "ABCs". Assume nothing, believe no-one, check everything.
I love that ABC thing and will be forced to remember it!

Good counterpoints. I did investigate it just a few months ago but then found criticisms about its translation of V to C being quite subpar, but eh

Legit interested, what's subpar about the translation?
