Vinix, a new OS written in V, now runs mlibc and bash
- ksaj 5y agoShouldn't this be a link to the github page instead of an announcement link to another announcement link? It gives the impression you are more interested in people going to your Twitter feed than you are about Vinix itself. It really shouldn't take two leaps to get to the content your title suggests it would lead to. This is a lot like a pay wall, where the direct link is readily available and could have been used instead.
- amedvednikov 5y agoThere's no link to another announcement link, just a link to the repo. This tweet is about the new particular feature, submitting a link to the GitHub repo when announcing a new feature wouldn't make sense.
- ksaj 5y agohttps://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/releasing-projects-on-github/about-releases https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository... This might help. Much better than announcing on HN that you have an announcement on Twitter to something on Github.
- amedvednikov 5y agoAgain, there's no "announcement on Twitter to something on Github." And there's no way to have images in github releases. This is also not a new release.
- crthpl 5y agoFor anyone who needs the link: https://github.com/vlang/vinix https://github.com/vlang/vinix
- Normille 5y agoHave an upvote. How f*king lazy do you need to be to link to a tweet instead of the actual article! What next? Are people going to start commenting here via emojis?
- amedvednikov 5y agoThere's no article.

- delian66 5y agoIt also runs on real hardware (tested on an old Intel i3), not only in qemu.
- amedvednikov 5y agoYes, Vinix running on an old i3 computer: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/645024404081999885/856170619280556042/IMG_20210620_165456090.jpg?width=1992&height=1494 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/645024404081999885/...
- rvz 5y agoFinally. Something different which sounds very impressive. The fact that this runs on real hardware and not just on QEMU and it's written in V gives the impression that the language is improving rapidly over the months. Nice work. Well done V-lang, keep it up.
- Normille 5y agoLots of things on the Vlang website sound very impressive. Unfortunately very few of them actually work as advertised. Try downloading and running a few of the "Built with V" apps listed at the bottom of the vlang.io front page. Most of them are broken and have been since forever. I actually like the language itself. It is like "a better Go". But the hyperbolic claims made for it are pretty irritating.
- amedvednikov 5y agoWhat features don't work as advertised?
- Normille 5y agoVolt and Ved, for a start.
- amedvednikov 5y agoVolt and Ved are features of the language? And what's wrong with them?
- InitEnabler 5y agoVery cool. On a side note if anyone is looking at the license for forking / contributing it's GPLv3 (As of time of writing.) Really wish it was under MIT or the very least v2.
- amedvednikov 5y agoWhy gpl2?
- besnn00 5y agoNot as extreme as 3
- amedvednikov 5y agoJust switched to GPL2.
