So now we have V, Val, Vala, Vale. Any other language I'm forgetting?

- jlokier 3y agoVau comes to mind.
- mst 3y agoOnly allowed if it's fexpr based though.
- Buttons840 3y agoIt will work to their advantage. Anyone learning one of these language is looking for "the new hotness", and will probably become aware of the other similarly named languages in the process, and will thus look them up. JavaScript did it, how did that turn out for them?
- hardwaregeek 3y agoI legitimately thought this was Vale. Rather unfortunate collision in naming
- germandiago 3y agoThey are trying to concentrate safe systems programming in permutations of V +{a,l,e}
- shrubble 3y agoThere is a Beef programming language ... what about Veal?
- germandiago 3y agoHahaha, it would fit perfectly. We should open an issue in Beef programming language issues list to change the name because it is violating the V +{a,l,e} rule. :D
- verdagon 3y agoWe all just have similarly good taste in naming =) party on this end of the alphabet!
- TiredGuy 3y agoand you can code with them inside vi or vim!
- bibanez 3y agoValtown
- porcoda 3y agoThere’s also VAL, one of the 80s era languages that influenced Haskell (via SISAL). Alas, outside the parallel languages community I don’t think many people are familiar with that VAL.
- xwowsersx 3y agoVariable Assembly Language!
- sixthDot 3y agoVolt
- henry_viii 3y agoBonus: V is also known as Vlang and Vale used to be called Vlang.
- verdagon 3y agoYep, then today's Vlang got to that name first, so we had to call it Vale instead!
- pepa65 3y agoVerve..? Virgil for sure.
