This is clearly just more V nonsense. It's cool that V compiles fast and all, but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31793554 https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

- elcritch 3y agoEven if it’s compiling the entire compiler in 0.7 seconds it’s certainly not generating good code. Even then it’s dubious and likely skipping semantic checks, etc.
- Tozen 3y agoThe post (from 2021) states it can translate DOOM (the game) from C to V and building it takes around 0.7 seconds. As for V compiling itself, the times that I've read about anytime in the last couple of years, is around 0.3 to 0.4 or so.
- internetter 3y agoIt's also worth noting that way back when, V could compile itself in almost 0.1s[0]. Now it's 7x slower. Of course, 0.1s -> 0.7s is very different than 10s -> 70s, but I think it is just another example of how programs start lightweight, but end up weighed down very, very quickly. What will V look like when all the promised features actually work? [0] https://fast.vlang.io/2020.html https://fast.vlang.io/2020.html
