There has been a lot of ink spilled about how V is not as advertised. I am not going to repeat everything here, but here are some articles you can have a look at:
The same good old 5 year old article that claims V's networking uses system("curl"), complaints that V doesn't run on every single Linux distro on release, uses debug builds with slow backend to measure performance, and complaints about V using git/make/libc and even electricity.
The 2022 article about type checker bugs that have been fixed years ago, and with false claims like the string.len one.
First sentence in the reddit comment:
> V initially made some promises that seemed completely unrealistic (automatically translating any C or C++ program to V)

There's a whole lot more out there too.
