V Language Review (2023)
Their site is clearly showing the language is in beta. The V documentation also states that autofree is WIP, and to use the GC instead. This isn't a corporate created language, but looks to be a true volunteer open source effort from people around the world.
Their community, in comparison to others, even has their discussions open and open threads for criticism[1]. These

Show HN: A new stdlib for Golang focusing on platform native support
Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.
About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.
My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

- Hopefully, the V developers will establish a relationship with Microsoft.

The V Programming Language 0.4
V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, has always responded well to constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.
A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy about its funding and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about.
The "criticism" never died down, but rather after V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language.
Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.

Pokémon emulators
You mean emulators running on PC? It took some doing, but I finally got DS Download Play to work on MelonDS. First you need to get DS firmware files. I found one on Retrostic that did not work for me. Melon told me it was an old hacked dump, and trying to boot it just got me a white screen. I found another on the Internet Archive that works.

I feel like people put down MelonDS too much here
MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here

Hi, new to emulators. I had a question, can I run gba and nds games on this?
no, you can use mGBA for GBA games, and MelonDS for NDS games

How do I turn source code to a release?
If you are on Windows you will need to install MSYS2 and this will make the process easier (which is why that's how they build it like that). Once installed open it and do: - pacman -S git (update git in MSYS2 with pacman) and then build the standalone execultable - git clone https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS (clone inside the MSYS2 environment) - cd melonDS go into the folder and copy paste the last commands in the Static Builds section a few lines bellow

Best online place to buy used games?
DeSmuME or melonDS for PC. Those are the two best ones out there. Mobile devices have nothing good at the moment, though.

Problem with Cmake when building melonDS from Github (Could NOT find X11 (missing: X11_X11_INCLUDE_PATH) )
- I followed the step of the melonDS Github under "Linux" for archlinux : https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS
- melonDS with built-in improvements added specifically for 358/2 Days (minimap, gauge progress in pause screen, widescreen hack, analog controlling the camera)
