IMO, vlang hasn't had the best of showcases and impressions (perhaps due to over-promising or hyping) set in HN. But it keeps coming up.
I think it's worth re-looking at it anew - it brings a good collection of ideas in PL space.
- pwdisswordfishz 1y agoThere are much better designed languages in this niche, that aren't developed by fraudsters.
- emptysongglass 1y agoCan you elaborate on both points?

- andrewflnr 1y agoFair, feel free to ignore V entirely then.
- zamalek 1y agoA ton of these new system languages can't seem to let go of exceptions (and/or null), which is increasingly being shown to be bad design. I would wager good money that a significant majority of those who disagree have not used exceptionless languages in anger. Personally, I would learn any of them for a job - but not for joy. Exceptions subtract joy. V is definitely worth looking at (but I have found the time yet).
