Check out V-lang ... it has the details. It's a beautiful language... but, mostly unknown.
Oh, it's known. It just has an incredibly negative reputation on this site.
"Memory Safe No garbage collector, no manual memory management. A work in progress, though." I wish them the best, but until they have a better story here I'm not particularly interested. Much of the complexity in Rust vs simplicity in Go really does come down to this part of the design space. Rust has only succeeded in making a Memory Safe Language without garbage collection via significant complexity (that was a tr…
On top of that, the original child of Rust and Go, was called Vlang[2].

Wasn't Borgo[1] suppose to be the new child of Rust and Go too? Rue, is like the new replacement of Borgo, which hadn't been out for long.

I am familiar with V.

> Im more interested to know the points in relation to autofree. As sibling said, autofree is still stated to use a GC, which obviously disqualifies it from "memory safety without GC". > Regarding the details, here is a pretty informative github discussion thread on same topic: https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/17419 I did see that! Unfortunately it doesn't really move the needle on anything I said earlier. It d…
Autofree can be combined with other memory management methods, besides GC, and is something V developers have hinted at multiple times. Until autofree becomes the focus of the project, combining it with the already existing GC, looks to have been and is more convenient.
I'm just working off of what I could easily find, particularly in public docs. If the V devs have hinted at possibilities other than manual memory management and GC, then you are certainly better positioned than me to know about them.
Are the hints you mention publicly visible somewhere? Would be interesting to see more details if they're available.
