For me I'm interested in the type system provided by a language.
For Val, I was a little hesitant when I saw the docs say "Two or more types can form a union type, also known as a sum type." since a union type and a sum type are similar but distinct concepts.
For a language, it is very important to understand the differences between these because I think they will greatly impact the design of the language.
The Vlang creator's initial misrepresentation of the language and their very problematic and hostile handling of any questions regarding the design of their language means, for me, I will never use it and don't consider it a serious language.
