> 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'm not working on these alone :)

I knew vlang from Volt, been waiting for 3+ years. I agree with some of the parent comment.

But I hold no grudge for you, keep up the spirit and good work.

I hope the project went well

Yes, but I honestly hate the idea of having to learn yet another SCM. I may reconsider at some point though, especially if more implementations emerge.

First time I hear about it. What alternative implementations git has?

There are multiple... JS, Go, Python, etc.

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.

They made hugely exaggerated/false claims while raking in lots of Patreon money.

"Lots" is very, very subjective. What country do you live in? I would say (as an appreciative donor/patron myself) there has been very, very little in the way of direct donations to the founder himself. This is no "get rich quick" scheme. Frankly I don't know of any programming language that's ever been such a quickie in this regard.

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…

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

Jobs' engineering team did it when compared with other libs at the time with NextStep. I know devs who claimed they were 3x (or more) more productive than their Windows and other Unix counterparts during that time. Rails arguably brought a similar revolution in the webdev world.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20230351 says they got $927/month some time ago, which is a decent amount of income I think. It seems to be less now.

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.

Have you considered integrating with git’s pull request model (eg: sending an email) rather than just cloning GitHub web-based fork-based model?
