If V language is entrusted to a certain foundation, will it promote the faster development of V language?

[Avey777]

In recent years, the development of V language has been very slow. If we can find a foundation that can accept V language, can we develop V language faster

[JalonSolov]

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on whether or not they care enough about it to invest heavily in supporting development. If a foundation takes if over then ignores it afterwards, development could be slower or even completely stop.

In other words, having some official foundation supporting something isn't some magical fix for development speed.

Just look at the number of projects Google officially supported for a while, then killed.

Well, if I received something around 2 thousand euros, enough to not have to work in another company, I would certainly be able to give more attention to the project. Now multiply that or more by the number of developers we have. Of course, that's not all, issues like autonomy and language direction are important for V, I believe.

Depends on the foundation on how they want V to become. They easily would have the power to manipulate the whole philosophy of the language, and if the community doesn't accept it, the development can stop entirely.

In recent years, the development of V language has been very slow.

As someone doing changelogs from commits every ~2 months for the last 3 years, this is simply not true.

But we are going to have a V foundation with the 0.5 release.
