What it does
Specs * As fast as C * C interop without any costs * Minimal amount of allocations * Built-in serialization without runtime reflection * Compiles to native binaries without any dependencies V compiles ≈1.2 million lines of code per second per CPU core.
Simple, fast, safe, compiled. For developing maintainable software. The best way to get the latest and greatest V, is to install it from source. It is easy, and it takes only a few seconds: You can learn the entire language by going through the documentation over a weekend, and in most cases there's only one way to do something. Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. V is very similar to Go. If you know Go, you already know ≈80% of V. Things V improves on Go: vlang.io/compare#go . V compiles ≈80k (Clang backend) and ≈400k (x64 and…from vlang.io

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
