Why is this being posted? This project looks to have around an hour of effort invested into it so far. Very, very, very few utilities are done and the ones that are are just a few lines of code due to their simplicity.
I'm normally very welcoming of projects posted on HN but this is almost nothing. I clicked around through several directories to look at code before seeing the completion table in the README and got upset when I saw that none of the directories had source files in them.
- tux1968 5y agoThink it is more about the language itself and getting people interested enough to contribute to a simple project. Personally i'd never heard of V before and found it interesting to check out. Downloaded prebuilt compiler binary and had a hello world running in a few minutes. Built and played the Tetris example a few minutes later. The project sounds very ambitious and is trying to target many platforms and many use cases.. my worry is it's trying to do too much too soon. Still, seems well worth keeping an eye on.
- brabel 5y agoV has been around for a while now, and a few years ago it was accused of being vaporware due to its many outlandish claims and very little to show for it: https://christine.website/blog/v-vaporware-2019-06-23 https://christine.website/blog/v-vaporware-2019-06-23 It's 2 years since that was posted... anything changed much?
- tux1968 5y agoIt seems that most if not all of those criticisms still apply. I replicated the speed, valgrind, and dependency tests here.
- ylluminate 5y agoTake a look now, it's up to 53 commits already + a solid PR: https://github.com/vlang/coreutils/commits/main https://github.com/vlang/coreutils/commits/main Encouraging!
