@Jehan you might not be a fan, but I'm willing to bet that these comparisons work in doing two things: * Spreading FUD about the language they compare against * Attracting people to try the language they are favourable to It sucks that our industry is so filled with hype, but that's what happens. At the very least the author of V should link to this thread to allow us to debunk their points. FWIW we actually do pretty well on the compilation speed: [https://vlang.io/compilation_speed](https://vlang.io/compilation_speed). Perhaps we should spread some FUD about Rust taking _hours_ compiling 400k LOC?
