We don't allow single-purpose accounts on HN, nor (to widen the scope slightly) accounts that are primarily obsessed with one agenda. That's incompatible with intellectual curiosity, which is the thing this site exists for.

Since your account seems clearly in that category, I need to ask you to stop posting about this, not just now but in the future. That's not taking a side about Vlang (I have no idea!) - it's just about the intended use of HN.

> Vlang has constantly over promised and under delivered, most of the features they advertise don't work or works in a very limited scope.

This is the 3rd time in this thread this claim is getting repeated. From my previous comment:

"V has an online playground, a package manager, hot code reloading and a REPL whereas Zig doesn't even though Zig is twice as old."

If you can't provide examples of undelivered features, I'm going to have to say you're spreading lies.

Also literally in the HN thread you shared the author of V refuted the claims from the article.

> ...successfully pushed a potential new user away...

1) You are "projecting", what is your purpose and agenda.

That is your intent, as an obvious troll (who masquerades as a Rust advocate), that probably has multiple accounts or working in a concerted effort from an organization of a competing language.

2) Your agenda is very clear.

It is mainly attacks, flames, and unloading of spam on any posts or threads which mention or are concerning Vlang.

3) Your troll account should have been banned a while ago.

All of this is very clear by your disruptive flame war comment history, for all to see.

> Vlang warriors...

So PufPufPuf and jonathanstrange are also "Vlang warriors", for just casually mentioning and saying something positive about Vlang on a thread about it and multiple languages?

What actually is happening, is the mere mention of Vlang can cause various rivals and competitors to engage with troll accounts to spam the name of their competing language (in this case Zig) and unload massive amounts of misinformation, propaganda, lies, and negative disruption on threads.

Notice how it is never initiated in the opposite direction. It is nearly always advocates of specific rival languages doing this, though they kind of and sloppily try to hide their affiliation, but often slip up as apparently they can't help themselves. Their activity consists of attacking or bashing Vlang (to include spamming the same negative propaganda links), when it is positively mentioned. This is very clear from HN's post history.

To include, this spamming or trolling activity by various evangelists or paid advocates of a certain language has gone over the top on the HN site, and is now on the radar of moderators (who have mentioning it).
