Interesting back story on why he created the "V" language to develop Volt: "Originally Volt app was written in Go, but after a couple of weeks of development I decided to re-write it in C for two reasons: easier integration with existing C graphics and UI libraries and much smaller binaries. The app size reduced from ~5 MB to ~100 KB. C development is not very productive, so I spent two weeks in October 2017 to create a very light and minimalistic language that can seamlessly interop with C. I called it V (the name is not final). V compiler is written in V. The language will be open-sourced later in 2019." -- https://volt.ws/lang https://volt.ws/lang
