I must admit that I'm amused by the people who find the writeup useful but are turned off by the AI "smell". And look forward to the day when all valued content reeks of said "smell"; let's see what detractors-for-no-good-reason do then (yes I'm a bit ticked by the attitude).
Yeah, while posting how they are using Claude to do something really amazing.

Never heard of this language, but it looks interesting. Very modern, certainly. One thing that stood out to me is that there's apparently the ability to write a bare `for` loop...? Is that just equivalent to while (true) in other languages?
It does have a "shady" past, but AFAIK it mostly managed to leave that vaporware behind. Nonetheless, I would not bet anything too serious on such a small language.
Arguably, only the explosion of AI slop (maybe it's more profitable), has slowed down the outrageous bombardment of Zig and Rust peddling. Languages which are not even in the top 10, but one would not have known that, by the number of previous HN headlines.

I will not be commenting on the topic here because of a consistent pattern of downvoting: https://x.com/arundsharma/status/2033635906532638776 You should judge the language based on its license and what it does, not on the morality of people who wrote it and sponsored it. Either produce an alternative language which does the same thing written by more "unshady" people and supported by a large corporation (talking abo…
The "AI" makes a few changes of the free content it sucked up, then gives it back based on correct prompts, for a fee. They got it for free, but you will pay a fee. If it is not something simple, it's often riddled with errors or takes a huge numbers of prompts to get it right. So some time was saved in typing, but then lost in code review and fixing errors. Humans that can understand what they are doing, troubleshoot, and architect are still needed.

It's not a popular thing to say on social media. V-lang is the one I'm tinkering with. It's like rust in terms of pattern matching as an expression, sum types, ?T instead of exceptions. Like golang, it has shorter compile times. I try to keep my argument abstract (that you need to lower python to something intermediate before rust) for that reason.
Here is a python AST parser written in V. It's targeting a dialect that's mostly compatible with a static subset of python3, but will break compatibility where necessary. In this case pattern matching, possibly elsewhere. https://github.com/py2many/v-ast
