An article like the V one on Zig checking the claims would be awesome, wouldnt it.?

What's your deal, is V your language or something?

Re: V Language Review
#52My recommendation is that if you like the look of V, you should consider Zig or Odin as well. Personally, Zig seems like the most promising C-but-modern language due to the interesting compile-time programming features and impressive investment in toolchain infrastructure.

Re: V Language Review
#53It would be very nice if you could do the same thing for Nim.
It's a great idea, I nominate myself unless anyone more qualified steps in. It should take about a month. I will do what the author did and evaluate the claims the language makes one by one.

Every evaluation in my blog is fully reproducible from the version of V I linked to and I've included all the source code used as well. My post stands on it's own. Instead of insinuating I'm some kind of competitor or have a personal agenda, I would encourage you to respond to the actual points raised in my post.
That's interesting or telling, because if you read what I posted carefully, I was not insinuating anything about your evaluation. Instead, the point was being made that you probably don't want to be associated with an old evaluation from 3 years ago, which is falsely accusing V of being vaporware, and where the author and the developer of V clearly have beefs with each other.
Good news: I'm never going to write about V again: https://xeiaso.net/blog/against-toxicity-programming-languag...
Re: V Language Review
#55People like to dunk on V because of its author and community, but I will say that the design of the language itself (leaving aside the implementation) is genuinely interesting. To me, it feels like what Go should have been. And I like Go. So obviously I have a bit of a soft spot for V. Disclaimer: I’ve never actually used it.

Or maybe it has to do with "never actually used it" after empty platitudes. The article goes to great lengths to show what works as promised or not, you'd expect at least some mention of what the interesting design features are.

Actually, there are a number of programming languages that I like. And I use other languages more than V, though I do think it does show a lot of promise and possibilities. But more than favoring any language, something I don't like is bullying, unfairness, or underhandedness. If I see something that appears odd or unfair, I can at times feel obliged to call it out.

Name, at least that's my interpretation from looking at her Contact Me page: > Copyright 2012-2022 Xe Iaso (Christine Dodrill). https://xeiaso.net/contact [correction] on their GitHub page I see: Please call me (order of preference): Xe/xer, They/them or She/her please. [edit] obscure to have your pronoun also be your name (or maybe your title?). Or maybe it is all just satire, given: "I am an ordained minister with…
To be honest having a person's name be the same as their nominative case pronoun is kind of cool from a whole different perspective than you normally get to see. By doing this experiment I get to see how bad of an idea it is to do that. So far the xe/xer pronouns don't seem to stick as well, but it looks cool so I'm gonna keep up the experiment. I'm also quite seriously an ordained minister.

I think it would be fun and educational!

Nim and Zig are both pretty interesting to me as up-and-coming languages so I do have them on a short list of things to try. This post took about a month of effort in my spare time to write so I don't think I will get to those anytime soon.

Then I take the liberty of doing some promotion for Oberon+ here too.

He doesn't have to be a user of the language to see that people are dunking on it. Some of the similarities of Vlang and Odin to Golang would be obvious from looking at the syntax and documentation by Go users. Though I do agree, it would have been better if he had played with it a bit.
