Slightly off-topic but this whole thing made me curious.
I keep seeing V being "attacked" by various people with these kind of blogposts (or even HN accounts dedicated to criticizing V), with broad range of claims or counter-claims to what V wants to achieve.
While this is maybe not completely absent when other new languages comes up (like Golang or Rust), it feels like V really brings out the people to come up with ways of criticizing it.
Do you have any ideas about why or how come? Have you noticed anything in particular that makes people want to (almost) aggressively "prove" V to be wrong?
Basically, do you have any guesses to why V seems to have more "enemies" out there, compared to lets say Rust or Go?
