V: Can't compile on WSL

[NotNite]

now I have your attention Alex, stop censoring people's legitimate criticism

your language is full of hacks and why are you using CURL FOR NETWORKING

what a meme

[medvednikov]

I was going to write a detailed post about it, but I didn't have time.

Several modules are indeed full of hacks, yes. They all will be fixed soon. It's the first public release.

What's wrong with using libcurl?

[medvednikov]

I don't censor anyone, I banned a troll who was spamming the repo and in most cases his "lols" were baseless. Like for example, _mac.v is used for Linux if there's no _lin.v file to avoid duplication.

I saw you delete 10+ issues LOL

libcurl is unsafe for networking (with the way you have it set up)

[joshyrobot]

The problem with libcurl is this (taken directly from your site): "Compiles to native binaries without any dependencies: a simple web server is only 65 KB"

All of these were posted by the same troll.

[medvednikov]

That statement is still true, the web server doesn't use libcurl.

Also: https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/307

[medvednikov]

If your client uses http, then yes, there's a dependency on libcurl. It will be removed soon, but there will still be a dependency on OpenSSL. I'll update that statement to say that there will be one dependency (OpenSSL).

is it really a "troll" if they were correct

[Bowero]

I am not censoring here, just cleaning up the issues. If you still have criticism left, you can keep responding to this thread or open a new issue.
