One thing that is positive is that writing an application in a new language is a 'rubber meets the road' situation where the language is being tested in the real world.

#42Any documentation on the CI/CD features?

#43V and it's creator get a lot of flack here on HN and the criticisms are probably warranted. However, I personally enjoy seeing them out here hustling and really trying to make their language succeed despite all the shortcomings. As someone who skews more apathetic, I enjoy seeing people driven by so much passion. Now, it's time for me to be one of those critics! It's easy to promote the speed and size of your github…
i was annoyed by the hyperbolic ambitious claims but if the guy and his friends pour out solid code then there's nothing else to say :)
also they seem to aim at frugal fat free programming, i cannot not like that

#44Looks like V author/community is on the track to rewrite the world. Expect operating system stuff next? I'm shocked by how quickly it goes along, though. Gitly is quite usable already, and I appreciate the swiftness. I'd think that Rust community is rewriting the world, but it's happening at much slower pace. Is V's basis strong enough to do this? Seeing the issues like [1] (about the basic memory management stuff) o…
Could someone explain to me why, after seeing how many exaggerated claims the author has made, they have invested their time into building up a community around it?
I'd be straight up terrified to trust anything serious with this guy's work.
In this instance, the demo won't even load for me and the documentation page can't be bothered to put the most basic of padding in it. Why even release publicly?
Promises, promises.

People are always talking about the 10x engineer. Nobody imagined that someone would invent the 10x programming language.

#46I'm a big fan of GitBucket - It's like GitHub-in-a-WARfile

Those that lie often either don't respect other people or they don't have the ability to know when they are lying. Which is scarier?
Go, Nim, and Zig have similar focuses and their devs have put in years of public, good work.
Some of the take downs at the time he was making his initial claims are absolutely brutal and make it clear that he not only couldn't back up his crazy claims, he wasn't getting the small stuff right.

He still hasn't learned.

#48Unfortunately this will probably run afoul of Git's trademark: "In addition, you may not use any of the Marks as a syllable in a new word or as part of a portmanteau (e.g., "Gitalicious", "Gitpedia") used as a mark for a third-party product or service without Conservancy's written permission. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision applies even to third-party marks that use the Marks as a syllable or as part of a…
Strange. What about GitLab and Gitea? And probably others.
In the case of Gitea, an argument could be made that it's actually `gi•tea`, not `git•ea` :)

#49Looking at gitly repository it almost has no features, only a fraction of the basic git features are present, and they are barely working.
Why is it being advertised here on HN as a fast alternative of github/gitlab?
P.S.: Probably the website crashed, it's giving me 502 bad gateway from cloudflare

My honest opinion (as someone with no dog in this fight) is that the author was naive and really bad at PR, but is improving overtime.
I generally encourage new programming language efforts, so I'm willing to be more generous with forgiveness in the hopes that this succeeds.
