This author is certainly building on his own dreams. As with many other promises and hype he gave..
There has been research on escape analysis, static memory management and all. Even not considering equivalence to halting problem, it has proven basically impossible to manage memory at compile time except very simple programs. This is a reason why rust ownership semantics are so complicated. And still anything complicated will use reference counting for many shared references. (Eg: Linux kernel).
But this guy is not even good at marketing he is doing -- some promises look very shady and comparisons are not apples to apples.
I see how big efforts zig and odin authors made, and the languages are impressive. V is a hyped piece from beginning and this makes the author seem more shadier.
