- colesantiago 5y agoIs V still vapourware in your opinion since you made your posts? Seems to have improved significantly since then.
- xena 5y agoPersonally I think it is something that should be ignored until it dies into obscurity. There are good ideas there, but if you sell someone the moon and give them a block of cheese that's kind of a scam.
- colesantiago 5y agoI get your point, but it doesn't look like this project would be ignored for some time, though it also makes some sense to market some features of the language with some demos, UI, GL and even an OS to show its capabilities. And if you ask me, it's very impressive that an OS can be written in V as well.
- vlang1dot0 5y agoIt's not terribly impressive when the compiler just outputs C and invokes TCC or your platform's compiler to do the actual work. V is far more like a different syntax for C than it is a real language. Perhaps one day that will change but currently V is to C as CoffeeScript is to JavaScript.
- rezaprima 5y agohmm. IIRC, C++ also started by compiling to C. Typescript also compiles to JS. CMIIW. Coffeescript also gained popularity (perhaps until JS caught up and render CS not relevant anymore)
- vlang1dot0 5y agoCoffeeScript was popular until Typescript came along and actually added something useful to JavaScript instead of just changing the syntax.
