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.
