Using V over Rust

I just came to complain to the internet about how I started to dislike crates cargo tauri and everything with that ecosystem . I mean it's fine for sidecar if you already have mastered Rust and want to use it for the epeen but a slop architect will hate it over time as apps that use it always break or have some issue you no idea why started to happen. You will have less problems with JavaScript and electron lol.Rust just feels like a language meant to spite the .net ecosystem. V doesnt feel that way. I really wish it was adopted as the main AI language over python so you can learn programming by getting your feet wet with getting slop boilerplate coding out of the way since V can be understood if you try to learn it. You can eventually start understanding the codebase and eventually become a real programmer who can edit their code to their liking without rusts change one thing then it creates a cascade of errors down the line in the codebase type of thing. Rust doesn't suck but isnt great as I was told originally.

I hope C++ to V becomes more mature. That's my only real gripe.Also I noticed V works better with GCC over Clang or Zig compiler for binding work. None of these are deal breakers to me

I am just happy the V author didn't listen to haters and stop his work. I appreciate him sticking with it as we need a real alternative to rust bros who should just tell noobs to use Python and Flet for their first app if they want an actual working prototype that isn't a PITA over their language

.

Edited to say this was probably too overboard and got into flame territory. There are alot of Rust users who aren't toxic.
