Oh also, mintsuki's (limine, lyre, echfs, qword, some things with managarm, etc) comments about V vs C/Rust/Odin/Zig are really interesting in #vinix-os: https:

  Can you copy those comments here by chance?

    I basically said that V lends itself better to this kind of development; and the modular, headerless structure gets less messy than C codebases. I also said that while I was skeptical of V (I have read all the criticism many times and I was also critical of the language for the longest time), it lends itself relatively well to kernel development and I am generally having a good time developing Vinix, only encountering minor compiler-related issues here and there, mostly with inline assembly. I also said that the language, by virtue of it currently being a relatively thin wrapper over plain C, resonates with me more as a C developer than somewhat similar alternatives like Zig or Rust. Matter of opinions, really.
