V can use any C99 compiler as its backend, including tcc, clang, gcc or msvc. It really does recompiles itself very fast - on a i3-3225, using tcc it self compiles for ~0.6s .
You can clone the repo, type `make` in it, then do `time ./v -show-timings self` and see for yourself - it will take you less than a minute (including cloning and the initial make which also clones from another C repository v.c, then compiles it to bootstrap v).
