? I dunno where you’re getting this from.
Pony? Zig? Crystal? Carp? Taichi? Dex? Vale?
The reception has been generally positive imo? Vale got some complaints for being very rough, but the reception was pretty much ok?
I mean, those are just things I’ve seen flow past on HN, so maybe others drop off and never see the light of day, but that’s true of most links on HN in general.
To rise up and then get heaps of negativity seems unusual for a programming language?
You sound quite “conspiracy theory” with this, and I think you’re sitting in a weird echo chamber.
If anything, I’d say the big difference is that this is broadly speaking a technical audience; a language that is not pitched at a technical audience (or exaggerates for marketing purposes like getting funding) will just get downvoted as spam.
Val has an open source compiler you can look at right now (not vapour), clearly points out it’s not ready for use, but has big ideas.
Doesn’t seem like you need a “deep state” to be enthusiastic about competent people building a new language, and having a chance to push it in a direction you personally want as it evolves.

It's not based on conspiracy or throwing out a quick unresearched opinion to just smite someone. It's based on search, and reading posts made on HN (over the years).

The difference is, being consistent with handing out such punishments (downvoting) and giving negative labels (vapor). Treat all the languages the same or equally apply those rules, otherwise the hypocrisy shows itself. Don't be so angry or surprised that someone may comment on it or point it out.
And when using terms like "vapor", let it be one's original thought, and not what is supplied by others painting a certain narrative.

???
Isn’t that literally what I’m doing with my examples of like 6 different programming languages?
> Don't be so angry or surprised
I apologise if I somehow came across as angry; I’m simply stating a fact.
