The V Programming Language

Summary

The V development team does an amazing job. I've never seen a language evolve that fast; I suspect you guys never sleep. I hope V will remain a simple, clean language and have a bright future. Thanks for all your hard work. I'm mostly surprised by how many things "just work". Channels and closures made implementing asynchronous callbacks for C functions such a breeze. Thanks for that! 😄 V is the most comfortable syntax I've encountered, so I look forward to 1.0. Been programming for around 30 years. Have done some C/C++, VB, and lots of Delphi years ago. Then PHP/Ruby for over 15 years. Bash, Python too. Recently I've wanted to start using a compiled language for reasons, and have looked at Rust, Go, and a couple others. I stumbled upon V a few weeks ago and have been very surprised by how easy it is to pick up. I am really enjoying writing V and feel like I am already productive. Even to the point I'm now looking at making a small ... Really like the direction of V, been wondering when this kind of language would pop up. V is amazing. Things I like about it: Flexibility for operator overloading. (it makes syntax intuitive) Compiles directly to C, and I love C Flexibility for having and not having garbage collection Go concurrency model I come from a strong Java and Go background and have been playing with Rust. V looks pretty amazing in terms of readability. I buy my son's diaper with C#, but every project I start today is in V. Because every project in C# has an initial load of bureaucracy that in V I don't have to deal with at the beginning, and I can plug bureaucracy into the project throughout the creation process. Gotta say that V's syntax is amazing (especially the error handling aspect for me since I strongly dislike Go's error handling approach but liked its other aspects). After V, developing a kernel in C results in more bugs, honestly more so because V catches a set of bugs and memory leakage that C simply doesn't. mint, maintainer of Vinix Just want to ...
