In addition, such detractors were acting like a brand new programming language would be a finished polished product from day 1, when that was not the case for their far older languages. For instance, Odin and Crystal are older than Vlang, but has been surpassed by it in various respects.
And don't get me wrong, I like Odin. That's because Odin is among the newer breed of languages that have continued the trend in which Go started of non class-based OOP and more generalized OO, that are contenders to be alternatives to C/C++ (like Zig).
In the case of Vlang, it has clearly been developing rapidly and consistently, and continually gaining in popularity. Simply looking at their releases (and release schedule) along with their documentation (which various newer contenders are lacking in even that), will show a lot of the controversy is without merit or distortions of language development reality.

If a person does their research, then they would have clarity on the subjects. This is partly why I think it is better to refer people to the website or advise them to do their own evaluation, as oppose to reference critics or 3rd party websites who may have hidden motives and are advocates for a competing language. I think the competition between the newer languages has come to that point.
