Shouldn't this be a link to the github page instead of an announcement link to another announcement link? It gives the impression you are more interested in people going to your Twitter feed than you are about Vinix itself.

It really shouldn't take two leaps to get to the content your title suggests it would lead to. This is a lot like a pay wall, where the direct link is readily available and could have been used instead.

There's no link to another announcement link, just a link to the repo.

This tweet is about the new particular feature, submitting a link to the GitHub repo when announcing a new feature wouldn't make sense.

Have an upvote. How f*king lazy do you need to be to link to a tweet instead of the actual article! What next? Are people going to start commenting here via emojis?
There's no article.

Finally. Something different which sounds very impressive. The fact that this runs on real hardware and not just on QEMU and it's written in V gives the impression that the language is improving rapidly over the months. Nice work.

Well done V-lang, keep it up.

Lots of things on the Vlang website sound very impressive. Unfortunately very few of them actually work as advertised. Try downloading and running a few of the "Built with V" apps listed at the bottom of the vlang.io front page. Most of them are broken and have been since forever.

I actually like the language itself. It is like "a better Go". But the hyperbolic claims made for it are pretty irritating.

What features don't work as advertised?
Volt and Ved, for a start.
Volt and Ved are features of the language?

And what's wrong with them?

Very cool.

On a side note if anyone is looking at the license for forking / contributing it's GPLv3 (As of time of writing.) Really wish it was under MIT or the very least v2.
