> To now say that you never said the former

wondering if you have any link on where author said this (that he never said the former)?..

You can take a look at the progress of claims.


my question was not about claims progression on website.


I responded to the post where he said "There were no outrageous claims".

"V can translate your entire C/C++ project" is an outrageous claim because it wasn't true then, it isn't true now, and it doesn't appear it will ever be true.


it is typical for experimental/beta/alpha projects that features don't work or/and later found not to be feasible and later dropped from road map, there is nothing "outrageous" here.

From another hand, you clearly tried to manipulate narrative by changing context and specificity.


There's one thing having them on a roadmap and another claiming can do it and using it as a selling point. First is acceptable, second is a scam.


everything in early stage not prod-ready experimental project is on roadmap, there is no guarantee anything works or will work, this is only healthy expectations for such projects.

Now, can you tell why you and similar folks follow val author in every post even issue has been resolved long ago?


>everything in early stage not prod-ready experimental project is on roadmap

There's an archive link posted in this thread that shows the specific feature mentioned (transpilation) was on main site front page and presented as ready and working.

>can you tell why you

Not sure why this became personal. My comments are public and can easily check this isn't the case.

my reading of archive is that this was in active work, he had examples of translation, and some now dead link on leveldb translation, and some c++ to val translation implementation but removed it lately: https://web.archive.org/web/20190226163127/https://vlang.io/...

You just made a "scam" claim about issue which has been resolved long ago. So, this is the case, and I am wondering what is your motivation.
