> 3) Mojo does bold claims like being a better python with performance close to C, like V did, yet no one seems to call them out (yet????)
There appears to be confusion here. Mojo is trying to align itself with and be a kind of superset of Python, like C++ was to C. It's also an alternative for Python users, to use it, instead of reaching for C++ or C when they need speed or going lower level. From their website, that's not what V devs ever claimed nor is it their angle for users. V is a different programming language (and compiled), which provides benefits such as greater speed, type safety, etc... in comparison to Python. It would be a switch over, not a superset.
V is more of an alternative to Go and then C (in terms of ease of use and greater safety). Mojo and V are mostly in different lanes, where they appeal to different audiences, and how they are marketing themselves has nothing to do with the other.
> Anyway, never gonna try it, unless I'm absolutely forced. I hate their marketing strategy, it sounds too bad
This comes across as weird, to claim one will never use or gives the impression to never have used the programming languages they are talking down on. If not using Mojo or V, why be so preoccupied? Just skip over to what one does like and not be worried.
> ...hate their marketing strategy
Just about all programming languages attempt to sell themselves to the public. If they don't, people don't hear about them, and they die in obscurity.
And a lot of times, people are allowing themselves to be brainwashed by what big corporations have to sell, because they have big budgets for marketing. People often like, what big companies told them to, because of their infomercials and marketing campaigns. Sometimes, it can be good or at least fair to give alternatives a shot.
