(Edit: I think this is simple enough, just use HN's existing canonical link algorithm and see if the comments for a particular destination exceed the desired rate.)
V compiles itself in <1s, can translate entire DOOM, has a working kernel/OS (Vinix), 10k+ PRs, 600+ contributors etc.
While the bad track record you mention is about junk like git/libc dependencies and system("curl") (doesn't happen).
Can you list actual lies?
Why are you making such false claims? Which features don't work? Please list them.
*edit*
Just like I thought.
You will write walls of text about it being a scam, but you cannot list a single example of such a scam.
Only point to "complete takedown" articles with lies like V not being open source, or nonsense like V depending on git/libc/opengl/make.
You even say that every single feature mentioned on the website is a lie, while it can be verified in a couple of minutes.
Stop. It's boring.
And therein may lie the source of my frustration: HN is full of not only gullible people who fall for these scams, but also the very perpetrators of these scams, using HN as a tool to generate hype.

There's a whole lot more out there too.
The 2022 article about type checker bugs that have been fixed years ago, and with false claims like the string.len one.
First sentence in the reddit comment:
> V initially made some promises that seemed completely unrealistic (automatically translating any C or C++ program to V)
lol
Completely unrealistic while they literally exist and work.
At the time I was able to reproduce pretty much everything that was said I. This article.
V not running on every single Linux distro on release is not a lie.
V compiling without deps is not a lie (cc v.c).
etc
The 2019 article is 5 years old. Easy to count.
(Not that having type checker bugs makes a language a scam in the first place.)
@mort96
It's very unfortunate that you make strong claims like "None of the features which sound interesting actually work, and there's no sign that anyone working on the language has any idea how they'll make them work."
and fail to post a single proof of such features.
“My haters are just jealous”
Or maybe you and your product are actually bad
I want examples of actual false claims on the website. Because you originally said every single claim on the website is a lie.
for example:
> Another lie, Alex himself wrote to me in Telegram, not the moderator.
the entire thing isn't even about him, but a different person, and that person was contacted by the moderator. Yet this guy thinks it's about him.
Not a very unbiased source.
Bugs and leaks don't make the project a scam. Every project has bugs.
Isn’t this fraud?
This is an article by a guy who calls himself a "V hater" and the stuff from discord sreenshots wasn't even addressed to him.
What are the lies? Please list them here, I'm genuinely interested. Bugs in experimental coroutines, a new WIP feature no even mentioned on the home page yet?
Again, please list just 3 reasons V is a scam.
I’m sorry but this is kind of reading like a paranoid conspiracy level of denial. There is a reason why everyone hates your product and organisation. It’s not some conspiracy against you. It’s that you lied and it sucks
