> However the attitude of the lead developers toward criticism or negative feedback...
I disagree about that, because there is a major difference between submitting a bug or disagreeing about a claim or feature versus outright trolling, smearing, instigating drama, or trying desperately to create negative public perception.
Issues and discussions can be brought to V's GitHub (https://github.com/vlang/v/issues, https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions), but instead what various competitors and detractors do is create drama filled smear blogs or bad joke posts (on various websites) against the author or language. That's not any attempt at being helpful or constructive, that's more about slander or to create such negative sentiment in the hope of killing off the language.
When issues and discussions are brought peacefully to V's GitHub, they are discussed and debated intelligently. If any such issues have any validity, then they are usually fixed.
> Everything negative that people say appear to be taken as an "attack"...
That's simply not true. What does happen, is various competitors and detractors do specifically attack and smear the language or author, and who have no intention to want to be helpful or make any improvements. To include engaging in downvoting or trolling those who appear to be V supporters.
Such attacks and smears are not about fixing anything, their point is to be destructive, create negative publicity, and dissuade others from using a rival language.
If there are those that don't think that is the case, then simply ask yourself why many of those engaging in such attacks and smearing who claim to be technically knowledgeable or interested in using the language are not making their case on V's GitHub? That's where a person can go to improve V and get it production ready. Continually engaging in smearing is not about fixing, improving, nor reaching out to V's developers or community.
