V

- phpisatrash 5y agoWhy V is again on front page? It's nothing more than Go with fewer libs and packages. And I wonder, WHO compile a programming language to use it? It can be learned in 1 hour? Yes. Go can be learned in 1 hour. Honestly I don't see any benefits using V. Is nothing more than Go renamed with "V" and "marketing".
- turminal 5y agoAnd more bugs
- jdmoreira 5y agoI'm reading this: https://vlang.io/compare#go https://vlang.io/compare#go Never used V and barely used Go. But still, some of those differences are a huge plus in my mind. For example Go FFI is notoriously slow. Also immutability by default, enums, generics, no global state. Sounds awesome to my hears!
- super_flanker 4y agoThey are awesome on paper, but in reality implementation is full of bugs and doesn't work as advertised.
- Tozen 5y agoThat's clearly incorrect. V has significant differences between it and Go. Suggest actually reading the documentation. https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md
- ThePowerOfFuet 5y ago@dang Could we retitle this to "The V Programming Language"?
- zozbot234 5y agoThe V is short for Vaporware of course.
- artemonster 5y agoI remember this notion when most of the features were on a wishlist and a roadmap, but why its still a vaporware?
- gompertz 5y agoYeah... 13,000+ git commits. Certainly vaporware. Come on man.
- super_flanker 4y agoYeah, it doesn't change the fact that their advertised features don't work as expected and is crippled with tons of bugs.
- Tozen 5y agoSpouting V is vaporware, is nonsense. Especially when they have an update at around a new one per week and over 90 releases- https://github.com/vlang/v/releases https://github.com/vlang/v/releases

- gompertz 5y agoWow, 2.5 years ago. So relevant.
- colejohnson66 5y agoThe complaints are from 2.5 years ago, yes. But the unprofessional response to the concerns is the issue.
- Tozen 5y agoThe first wave of Christine's complaints were when the V programming was just released. That's ludicrous to be doing that, to any programming language. Nobody is going to release a fully finished and complete programming language on day 1. Criticisms from 2 and a half years ago on a new programming language are mostly not relevant. It's really time to let go of the hate or come out and admit being an advocate for some other competing language.
