I hear about zig all the time, and I'm surprised I don't more about vlang. Yet they still to target a similar audience.
Is this a matter of popularity or features ?

With that said, I've heard the situation has improved since then.
For example, one of the biggest claims has always been fast compilation. Here's V compiling itself in 0.3 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvP6wmcl_Sc
V was also self hosted (written in V) from the start, which says a lot about the maturity of the language.
> Combined with all the delays
There were no delays. The project was announced to be released in June, and it was.
By the way, we now have a cool OS written in V, that can already run Bash, g++, and V itself!
How could that possibly be true? You need a V compiler to compile V but none would have existed "from the start".
You've also said multiple times on Discord that the original V compiler was written in Go.
Of course initial version was written in Go, but it was never released.
On home page, the very first claim:
> No null
However V has `nil` or any reference can be initialized to `0`. How is then claiming `no null` not false?
It's on the 0.3 roadmap, high priority.
I see you created this account to spread false information about V:
> Ditto same experience, I asked if somebody could explain me the memory model of V; and all of sudden hell broke loose. I was asked why do I need to know how memory model worked, are you a troll, if you don't contribute to the lang you're not welcome here. Never asked a second question again.
This never happened. Otherwise you could send a link to the discord conversation.
No one gets banned or called a troll for asking questions.
Besides, the memory model is explained in details on the home page.
