You pointed right in the middle, but try to rationalize with someone who is a crypto advocate? I bet that it will be a completely usefulness conversation. The crypto money rely purely on USD exchange and that's why suddenly appeared so many crypto startups, because their "value" is speculative.
I cannot recommend enough for everyone who has a minimal sensibility towards the climate impact to read this thread: https://twitter.com/smdiehl/status/1350869944888664064. Since we are inevitable heading over to a climate catastrophe it's really the time to advocate against bitcoin.
I was wondering if these developers have any ethical concerns about the environmental impact they are responsible for by developing a technology which I can categorize with a single world: ABSURDITY!
I just looked at the source code and I'm very skeptical about what the author claims. The way the code is structured and is written is not very professional. Also I don't see any benchmarks. If you claims something at least give valid sources.
> I worked with Magento every day and I am glad the language is more than Java than it used to be, it means we can organise our code better
Do you consider Magento being a framework you are happy to work with? I'm also working in Magento 2 and honestly it's a painful experience. It's a so bloated framework that without cache enabled the development is completely awful.
It's not about founding or donation, it's all about false promises. How you can give false assumptions about something which does not exists and it's not provable. I'm thinking here about all the optimistic features the author is acclaiming. As some of the commenters mentioned practically is impossible to build a product (a new programming language) in solo and having only a couple of thousands of LOC.
99% of percent of the new programming languages are nothing more than a syntactic sugar over an existing language, and 99% percent of their developers are developing without any real use case and. I suppose they are made only to collect some money (by donations eventually). As they are developed they are immediately forgotten.
yeh, smoke and mirrors. Checking all the websites the author is maintaining, the focus is on Patreon support, much less on real development and commitment. I'm also intrigued why such projects (which does not have any code openly available behind) are so high rated. I assume because many github users does not take the effort to see behind.
So true... I'm also thinking what's the point to open source under the umbrella of this V programming language something that is no more than a couple of examples.
I do not want to blame Go, since I'm programming in Go from
quite a long time and I love it, but to claim a programming language which is written in Go fast is exaggerated and an outrageous lie. Go could not match the speed of C/C++ so how can be this programming language declared as fast??
