It was a combination between Patreon and Github Sponsors for solo the lead developer at the time making several thousand USD per month. Those campaigns are still ongoing AFAIK, but the contribution amounts are now private.
This right here is why people have a problem with you and your language. You did make outrageous claims, and to now say you didn't is gaslighting. Accordingly, people do not trust you.
Here's just one. On an early version of your webpage you said in big bold font:
> V can translate your entire C/C++ project and offer you the safety, simplicity, and up to 200x compilation speed up.
When people called you out, it turned into this small subscript:
> C++ to V translation is at an early stage.
And it's been in an "early stage" ever since.
I'm sorry, but when you said "can translate your entire C/C++ project" did you mean "can" or did you mean "one day will be able to". Because those are completely different, and to say one when you mean the other is grossly misleading. To now say that you never said the former outrageous claim is gaslighting. We're not idiots or goldfish.
I responded to the post where he said "There were no outrageous claims".
"V can translate your entire C/C++ project" is an outrageous claim because it wasn't true then, it isn't true now, and it doesn't appear it will ever be true.
it is typical for experimental/beta/alpha projects that features don't work or/and later found not to be feasible and later dropped from road map, there is nothing "outrageous" here.
From another hand, you clearly tried to manipulate narrative by changing context and specificity.
everything in early stage not prod-ready experimental project is on roadmap, there is no guarantee anything works or will work, this is only healthy expectations for such projects.
Now, can you tell why you and similar folks follow val author in every post even issue has been resolved long ago?

There's an archive link posted in this thread that shows the specific feature mentioned (transpilation) was on main site front page and presented as ready and working.
>can you tell why you
Not sure why this became personal. My comments are public and can easily check this isn't the case.

my reading of archive is that this was in active work, he had examples of translation, and some now dead link on leveldb translation, and some c++ to val translation implementation but removed it lately: https://web.archive.org/web/20190226163127/https://vlang.io/...

You just made a "scam" claim about issue which has been resolved long ago. So, this is the case, and I am wondering what is your motivation.
