So V also has nothing to do with rust, the same way go also hasn’t. Both are high level languages, of which we have 1000s to choose, leaving rust and zig be modern low level languages that are no longer experimental/research.
- amedvednikov 3y agoWhat kind of low level stuff can you do in rust/zig that you can't in V? V works just fine for low level stuff, we have a full os/kernel written in V, which can already run g++ and doom.
- kaba0 3y agoMicrosoft has a whole OS written in C#, lisp machines were also a thing, so nothing new. GC is not a problem for OSs. But there are very few applications that do mandate a non-GCd language, like writing performant runtimes, deterministic workloads, etc.
