I've put a lot of information on the home page and the docs.
I'm working on articles about C/C++ translation right now. They will be up in a couple of days.
What else is hurting you? I'll update the website.
- jchw 8y agoIt's not that there isn't enough information; it's that there's a lot of amazing claims and no way for me to evaluate them. Like I'd love to know more about the supposed C++ translation. The homepage shows an example with seemingly idiomatic translation, but is that actually representative of what people could expect?
- rujuladanh 8y agoThe GitHub issue about the playground says C++ translation is "not coming soon". So the claimed C/C++ translation looks misleading.
- amedvednikov 8y agoC++ translation will be done by the time the language is open sourced. I can already compile simpler projects.
- rujuladanh 8y agoAny non-trivial C++ program typically uses the STL or a similar library, which requires the full expressiveness of C++ to be implemented. So, no, I don't think you have done even a tiny fraction of what C++ entails.
- amedvednikov 8y agoI support STL and even plan to support Boost.
- rujuladanh 8y agoThat does not make sense. Either you support both because you can translate most C++, or you don't support any (modulo bugs). Maybe you are hardcoding detection of a set of known types by hand?
- cpeterso 8y agoWhy delay the open source release of V for a complicated feature (C++ translation) that is not part of the core language?
