V
github.comWhy V is again on front page? It's nothing more than Go with fewer libs and packages.
And I wonder, WHO compile a programming language to use it?
It can be learned in 1 hour? Yes. Go can be learned in 1 hour.
Honestly I don't see any benefits using V. Is nothing more than Go renamed with "V" and "marketing".
That's clearly incorrect. V has significant differences between it and Go. Suggest actually reading the documentation. https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md
And more bugs
I'm reading this: https://vlang.io/compare#go
Never used V and barely used Go. But still, some of those differences are a huge plus in my mind. For example Go FFI is notoriously slow.
Also immutability by default, enums, generics, no global state. Sounds awesome to my hears!
They are awesome on paper, but in reality implementation is full of bugs and doesn't work as advertised.

The first wave of Christine's complaints were when the V programming was just released. That's ludicrous to be doing that, to any programming language. Nobody is going to release a fully finished and complete programming language on day 1.
Criticisms from 2 and a half years ago on a new programming language are mostly not relevant.
It's really time to let go of the hate or come out and admit being an advocate for some other competing language.
Wow, 2.5 years ago. So relevant.
The complaints are from 2.5 years ago, yes. But the unprofessional response to the concerns is the issue.
@dang Could we retitle this to "The V Programming Language"?
The V is short for Vaporware of course.
I remember this notion when most of the features were on a wishlist and a roadmap, but why its still a vaporware?
Spouting V is vaporware, is nonsense. Especially when they have an update at around a new one per week and over 90 releases- https://github.com/vlang/v/releases
Yeah... 13,000+ git commits. Certainly vaporware. Come on man.
Yeah, it doesn't change the fact that their advertised features don't work as expected and is crippled with tons of bugs.
