Would be nice to add a short disclaimer that you are the author of the V language (at least it seems from your username, correct me if I'm wrong).
There are many new languages in the same space (Zig, Nim, V). However, if you use a language outside hobby projects, you are dependent on a language having a long-term healthy ecosystem. Of the newer native languages, only Rust, Go, and Swift have enough traction to bet your livelihood on.
In the end, having a rich ecosystem with good libraries and tools is going to leave a far bigger mark on productivity than relatively small differences between Rust, V, Zig, Nim, D, or whatever.
- amedvednikov 3y agoTrue, Go has an amazing ecosystem. A great stdlib and libraries. That's why we're working on Go2V, which will be able to fully translate Go code to V. (Having a language so similar to Go also helps.) It's already been partially used in our translation of Go's crypto modules: https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/vlib/crypto https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/vlib/crypto
