Hello V-Lang
Last time I checked V-Lang looked amazing on paper but on closer evaluation many of the claimed features were only planned, crashed the compiler on trivial inputs, or simply were half-baked and didn&#x27;t deliver on the promises (things like syntax errors from the underlying C backend, memory leaks etc. because transpilation was straightforward and lacked proper checks, hence the fast compilation speed). A few months ago I superficially skimmed through their GitHub repo and it left an impression that it&#x27;s still a toy language with same problems as back in 2020, although with some improvements (but it&#x27;s just my impression), many ideas being borrowed from Go and Rust. From what I also found odd is that the author is overly fixated on their transpilation speed for some reason (i.e. IIRC citing V -&gt; C translation only, without the C -&gt; binary part), they have a few repos written in V and one of the main selling points there is compilation speed as well - probably at the expense of other features, because they don&#x27;t do deep analysis (hence C compiler errors on trivial inputs). It struck me as something odd because I find memory safety, thread safety and overall stability more important than a few saved seconds of compilation.<p>I will be more than happy to learn that I am wrong and the situation has considerably improved, but other than that infamous GitHub issue &quot;The language is not what is promised&quot;, I haven&#x27;t seen a more recent (as of 2022) objective, skeptical analysis of the language by someone from outside their community. Maybe someone has links?
