V 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…
Can you perhaps link to some of said criticism? I'd be interested to read it.
Unfortunately 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…
It would be a stretch but git has another meaning, which some find consistent with their perception of SWEs ;)
Hi, Author of V and Gitly here. Gitly is currently in alpha, and works more like an example/documentation of the V web framework and V ORM. You can't even sign in at the moment. It will be launched this month. We're actually going to switch to Gitly CI, since Github Actions has been really slow for us.
Good luck on your projects! You should probably add Gitea to your comparaisons, at it seems to be the closest to your project (written in Go, lightweight).

Looks 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, promis…
I confess that I've found it both enraging and depressing to see that the "bootstrapped-by-hype" model works even in programming language development, which I had (naively, I guess) assumed would be more immune to that sort of thing. I suppose the field is composed of fallible humans just like any other.

> V and it's creator get a lot of flack here on HN and the criticisms are probably warranted. Hi fellow Penguin :D! I'm impressed by the creator's dedication here too, but he's clearly biting off more then he can chew - he's been saying that he's making a * Web framework * GUI framework * SQL ORM * A language that has a lot of promises - seriously checkout their list. * Github alternative * VIM alternative This stuff…
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
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…
I read that article, maybe .. maybe they wised up during the last 2 years.
