Do you have links to false claims about Nim?
I think they meant V-lang is making false claims about itself.
I meant both V-lang making false claims about itself and making false claims about Nim.

#42Have you bought github stars from a click farm again and then show how many stars you have compared to other langs?
did this happen? is there proof somewhere?
This might be real star history.

Or, it's better than a meme that needs mOaR jPeG!

Not only did this project make a lot of false claims about itself but also other existing programming languages. This included Nim (which I am one of the core devs on). It’s rather sad to see people get roped in by these claims. This project is a true example of how far pushing false promises and lies can get you and it makes me a bit sad about the world.

I don't and to be fair, from what I recall, these were dropped from the V website as soon as the Nim community challenged them.

Please get specific - not sure what you're talking about. I've only ever seen other folks coming in and attacking V really quite baselessly.

It's still smoke and mirrors from a dreadfully unstable language. Criticism from https://christine.website/blog/vlang-update-2020-06-17 still holds to this day.
FALSE. Look at the date and check out: https://github.com/vlang/v
Just saying “FALSE” doesn’t address the big issue: Christine was blocked for asking questions.

for anyone who doesn't use Telegram: the image shows that most of the stars came in short bursts of time, from China. kinda weird that one can't click the image in their browser to enlarge it
You may be curious to see how many people in China are actually contributing and doing stuff in V. That's actually surprising and cool.

#47V is shady AF. Steer clear of it.
Either that's slander, or it needs some explanation and, preferably, documentation.

But feel free to look up any older thread on the language. It’s the musk of PLs.

I think, if that happened, perceived trolling is the more appropriate interpretation of what happened there to Christine. You're acting angry and critical whereas in reality we should be focused on solving problems and building community to make things good for everyone.

The initial alpha (beta?) release of the project was scheduled for public review, but the developer was accepting payments for early access. I won't comment on the state of the release that some people paid for.
The devs seem to have made a few enemies. Devs of other small projects, specifically Nim and Zig aren't fans of V to say the least. Nim devs allege that the V project has made defamatory remarks about their project. Zig developer, Andrew Kelly, also had some things to say about V. [0],[1]
There have been numerous occasions of the V dev deleting criticism.
There are claims that the V project has been buying stars on github.
The project makes very bold claims about the feature set while not having actually implemented said features.
There is a popular set of blog posts that dives into the issues with claims vs reality [2],[3],[4]
My opinion is that I do find it disingenuous, and borderline scammy, to accept donations and at the same time claim V can do the things it claims. Ultimately, I think the dev is just not great at managing expectations. I highly doubt any of it is malicious intent. Also, somewhere in one of these, Andrew retracts his accusation of fraud, due to the V devs updating the advertised capabilities of the project.
