Gitly: A light and fast GitHub/GitLab alternative written in V lang (pre-alpha)

I'm the author of that post if anyone has any questions.
Yeah let’s bash on V again instead of celebrating what this post is about: a really great web app. Maybe it is time to move on to more productive discussions. People are obviously building pretty interesting things with V.
I would like to believe Gitly is a really great web app. The problem is, how can I trust the claims that have been made about Gitly, when I have reason to distrust the group making the claims?
Christine's blog posts indicate V lang is blatantly over promising and under delivering. You can't claim a language is memory safe, when it has trivial memory safety issues. You can't claim a language compiles 1.2m LoC in a second, when it takes about 3 seconds to compile 50k LoC. If they said these are the goals for the language in the future, that's a different story but they did not say that. This was 2 years ago, so maybe things have changed and V lang is no longer over promising, but I don't have the stats on hand to back it up and so I remain skeptical. I like the idea of Gitly but I can't trust it does all they claim right now, given V lang's past.
If you have any stats on V lang fixing these issues, I'd honestly love to see them. Being able to deliver on all of these promises, would make V lang an extraordinary achievement.

The best bit is this excerpt from the standard library (2019): fn download_file(url, out string) { // println('\nDOWNLOAD FILE $out url=$url') // -L follow redirects // println('curl -L -o "$out" "$url"') os.system2('curl -s -L -o "$out" "$url"') // res := os.system('curl -s -L -o "$out" "$url"') // println(res) } Here's what that file looks like today: https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/vlib/net/http/downloa...
I really don't understand why everyone is making fun of what is clearly a stub implementation. Have we not all written code like this so we can go work on some other part of the code that depends on this?
The people that are making fun of V, instead of helping, at this point are nothing more than hateful jerks imho.
They just want to hate something - if not V, it would be something else.

Most of us also don't splash it all over hn/reddit like it's the second coming of Christ.
Most of us also do not name ourselves based on things we hate...

#126Can what this guy is doing be done without making mistakes? Is this thread not good publicity? Does crazy_horse not sound pathetic and amedvednikov comparatively heroic? Could we not dream a little, please?
amedvednikov only sounds heroic if this is first time you've heard about him or the criticisms towards him over the years. To those who've heard of him before, he's just a conman. Make no mistake, this is just one of his many "ambitious" projects that he creates for publicity and then abandons after a while. Again, this isn't the first time he does this. He promises the world and under-delivers.
I choose to give this guy the benefit of the doubt.

#127Unfortunately 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…
Is that kind of extension to trademark even legal anywhere?
That's so aweful how pissing territory behaviors are driving mindset of people involved in intellectual works.

You're early obsessed and make it a large portion of your existence to hate something with such a deep passion.
It's astonishing.

Meh. I have some issues with the criticisms there, but they make some okay points too. I don't see this as a reason to dismiss the entire language though. I've seen more damning arguments against Go, Rust, Zig, etc.
The languages you've listed generally work as advertised and while you might dislike some of the design decisions or tradeoffs inherent in those decisions, ultimately, they do what they claim to. The same cannot be said of V.
You say that and then do nothing to back it up.

Frankly it's rather amusing.
