> Why are so many people frothing at the chance to disparage this language and it's author?

It's because of all the lying. The author keeps claiming that their language has features that it definitely does not have.

Why do so many people consider "I checked several notable claims, and most of them are false" to be some kind of hateful disparaging attack?

Can you list the false claims here? 1. 2. 3.

Shouldn't be hard, if "most claims" are false according to you.

I was referring to both the original post, and Xe's older post that this comment thread is about. They both list claims made by V and describe details how they tested those claims and what their results were.

Do you have anything more legit because these posts have nonsense like "setting array length on creation is a terrible idea" (Go with its `make([]int, 5)` must be a terrible scam language as well) and measuring the performance of a debug build, with slow backend, without vlib cached, and with vfmt on.

You can see that V is actually as fast as is claimed on the website:

Same with other points from the author that publicly claimed that "V has to die".

Like I said, if "most claims are false" on vlang.io, as you claim, it shouldn't be hard to list 3 of them here.
