This blog post showcases V in a positive light. I suppose it is good that people can have productive experiences with it now, although I don't see from this post why it is a significant improvement on Go.

The problems discussed (performance, compiler fragility) are somewhat worrying though. My impression is still that V is not particularly robust and focuses on flashy things instead of getting the basics right. I must admit that it is however still hard to look at V objectively, given the near-fradulent presentation it had when it was first announced.

IIRC, it was intentional false advertising and deception. https://xeiaso.net/blog/vlang-update-2020-06-17/

Last I heard in 2024, the situation has not improved
