The same good old 5 year old article that claims V's networking uses system("curl"), complaints that V doesn't run on every single Linux distro on release, uses debug builds with slow backend to measure performance, and complaints about V using git/make/libc and even electricity. The 2022 article about type checker bugs that have been fixed years ago, and with false claims like the string.len one.

In Why Swift's type checker is so slow

The compiler can already compile itself in 0.3 seconds and is written 100% in V: https://github.com/vlang/v#installing-v-from-source It allows building easy cross platform graphical apps: https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/examples/tetris It has easy cross compilation and can even compile itself for another platform: https://twitter.com/v_language/status/1137537130887077890 It allows to build small performant GUI apps like Volt: https://volt-app.com/ (Volt 1.0 RC 1 for macOS has been used by thousands of happy users for several months.) It powers a simple forum: https://blog.vlang.io/forum And the entire forum is one 65 KB binary. It can translate and build DOOM: https://github.com/vlang/doom It has very extensive and simple to read documentation that c

overs pretty much the entire language: https://vlang.io/docs I think it's pretty good for 0.0.12. Come back when it's v1.0 by the end of this year.
In V Is for Vaporware
