Not the same language as V. The latter got a very critical review at https://mawfig.github.io/2022/06/18/v-lang-in-2022.html which I've misattributed to Vale because they're similarly named. Leaving this here in case someone else has made the same mistake.
This "critical review", appears more like continuous old spam often used by detractors or to troll. It has no perceived value other than that, because it's a "review" (hit piece) of an alpha version of the language. It's 2023, and V is also in beta (0.4). Furthermore:
1) The creator of it used a disposable GitHub account, launched the review/attack for the drama, then disappeared.
2) The only thing they ever published on their blog, was the hit job on V. No other reviews ever made.
3) Anything, which had any kind of substance, is already fixed[1].
4) A search of mawfig.github, shows how it is spammed on HN, and usually used for smearing.
