Thank you everyone for commenting and sharing your thoughts regarding my project! I'm aware of the history of V and it's less than stellar reputation in the beginning. I really hope this comment section doesn't devolve into yet another stream of people regurgitating blog posts from over 5 years ago. I evaluate languages and their suitability for projects by just my personal experience using them. Does it do what I need, and does it do it now? That's it.

Great project. Something else, that needs to be said, is that you should not allow others to make you feel ashamed for using programming languages that you like. No reason to succumb to others who are trying to force switching to what they are pushing. It's your project and your time, not theirs.

I certainly did feel some of that in the past, but not anymore. I started using V for this project fully expecting it to go wrong, experience no end of issues, bugs, memory weirdness, edge cases etc., based on the many articles targeting V. But like with everything, I also tried to stay as objective and unbiased as possible, and that just... Never happened. If anything as my experience and exposure with the language increased, so did my enjoyment, and confidence that V was just the right choice for the project, and for me.

I'm in a weird position, where I have no personal bias or stake towards V, I just like using it, but I frequently get attacked or questioned for making a choice that people find offensive or incomprehensible. It's almost like they see my not choosing something they like, like Rust, or Zig, etc., is my way of attacking them for choosing it for their own projects. No, not at all. In my opinion, the more languages that exist the better, the better the range of choice. This isn't a war guys, holy or otherwise. Let's just try and stay in our lane. There is work to do, we just need to get it done.

Where it's going is a valid question though. If I'm building something on top of it, am I building on top of sand or stone? At which point, looking at its past isn't totally unreasonable.
