I'm leaving HN and it's echo chamber all together. HN has no basis with reality. Bye!

> There is no such thing as "constructive criticism" of suspected fraud

You can criticize anyone constructively. What they are today is not what they are in the future. People can change even Andrew, but if something is repeated over and over, it is a sign of their personality.

I see his act as harassment. I know that Vlang had red flags, but I feel Russophobia or Jealousy in his actions. I looked through everything, but the guy didn't let the man talk and explain himself. So, the other side of the story is hushed up. It's like asking someone to prove their worth, otherwise they'll be killed. Naive Bayes can uncover many cases of fraud, but bias can turn things upside down.

I'd hope that Mr Andrew is not an Anarchist.

There were many posts both in HN and outside HN including Github, Reddit, Twitter.

His criticism is not constructive. He had Linus style comments.

They are functional languages. There is difference.

Simple, small languages getting complicated when used in large applications while complex languages become simple and easier when used in large applications.

He is childish. He had record breaking flame war in HN.

vLang

He has gone greater length to tarnish this language creator. It shows me he is up to something and I don't like that.

I pretty much don't use Vlang, but I dislike the way Kelley behaved.

Are you talking to me or the author?

These sentences direct copy paste from Author post, but I agree that Rust leans more towards to FP. The creator labeled Rust as Linear FP language.

It's ambiguous and not clear to reader!

Also,

"Lack of Object-Orientation was a concern"

Whenever you port a big program to another language it is important to be conservative, in my view. You don't want to make so many structural changes in the way things work in the original codebase while porting things over. You risk things becoming very confusing and the port could fail. In future iterations you could definitely make things more idiomatic in the target language.

As far as Rust is concerned, it does not have traditional OO features. But by using the Deref/DerefMut trait specifically and traits in general I was able to recover and mimic a lot of OO behaviors present in rr in rd.

The rd code may not always be beautiful.

FYI,

Rust had a GC also Classes in it's initial versions but they were removed for some reason!!!

My issue was "/" and I'd be fine if he had used "C, C++" or "C & C++"

C++ also happen to use the term zero-cost abstractions along with RAII since 2011 but

Chandler Carruth “There Are No Zero-cost Abstractions”

You can watch and see what they really are. I bet this is true for Rust as-well.

What's with the people who still use the term C/C++?

C++ and C are separate languages. I'd be grateful for the author to reflect it in the Readme.

Further, Bragging about LoC is bad. LoC is a poor measure of both quality and functionality.
