- baranul 1y agoV's GC can be turned off. V's libraries do not rely on the GC. Check out their Vinix[0] project (where they built an OS). They have other such projects. Better to review more balanced and neutral takes on V[1][2], where the reviewers are not just stirring up drama with their community or funneling traffic to their site.

- square_usual 1y agoIf you turn off the GC you need to manage memory manually, like in C. That is not "Memory safe". > Better to review more balanced and neutral takes on V Is anything I said factually wrong?
