Just so everyone is aware, this is more of a toy language that the author makes considerably bold claims about. His benchmarks exaggerate by comparing the speed of print statements, and the language itself is essentially a transpilation (a direct rule based conversion without an AST) to x86 so no other platforms can be supported. He has of yet to actually release any source code so this is just based off of the comments of his I’ve tracked down. If you’re familiar with the author of Iris in Go, this guy is basically that but for a programming language.

Clearly this advanced language is too much to handle for mere mortals like myself.

Transpilation is compilation. Let's stop the gatekeeping.

Hmmm I'm not sure if this is true but he says that "V can compile to (human readable) C, so you get the great platform support and optimization of gcc and Clang."[0]

Works for me.

Hi,
This is definitely not a toy language. Right now it can emit x64 machine code, more platforms will be available after the open-source release in early June.
Re: V Playground
#17I realized the other day that the V author is the same person that created gitly, which was a really nice looking git forge [1]. I believe the author's stated plan was to open source it, but the website went offline after some time without an open source release ever happening. I hope the author follows through on this one, because both projects look(ed) pretty neat!
Re: V Playground
#18Very intrigued by this language but the lack of tangible information is beginning to hurt. I find myself questioning some of the claims and demos shown on the front page. Like translating C/C++ code? Is the doom3.v thing completely fake or not? I'm not sure why it's being presented this way. I'm guessing it's probably structured this way for sake of Patreon, but it's actually a huge turn off.
I've put a lot of information on the home page and the docs.
I'm working on articles about C/C++ translation right now. They will be up in a couple of days.
What else is hurting you? I'll update the website.
Re: V Playground
#19But why use `go` keyword for go-style routine? I just realized I maybe have answered my own question but I don't think even Go should use `go` keyword for that. Maybe give it a more technical name?
Maybe :) Suggestions?

If this is thr case, this post should be flagged for misinformation.
