It’s fair to try to solve issues. But these are hard issues, and it is at best overconfident to outright say they will do X, when they didn’t even started working on it, and at worse it may be a scam making money from donations, but I am hoping that it is the first case.

Before making such a rude conjecture, at least check the dev's github page [1] first. Most of his git commits are related to V and he has been actively working on it for a couple of years, even over weekends. V may fail like many new languages, but at least the dev has paid the efforts. He has my respect.

At the start of the project, the source code was not available and I deliberately wrote that I really hope and want to believe that the first option is the correct. Nonetheless, this project did start controversially with absolutely bold claims, other, similarly small languages like zig interestingly doesn’t have bad connotations associated with it. Hopefully V will be able to shed these and will grow successful.
