It's a great concept, but languages like Rust ( https://www.rust-lang.org/ ), Zig ( https://ziglang.org ), Vlang ( https://vlang.io/ ), etc... are already running with a similar idea to being eas

Very good points. The longer the person has been using YouTube and the more data accumulated, clearly the math shows the more likely they are to get hit with false positives. The flip side of this, is where YouTube/Google is finding e

Good idea. Not sure why YouTube/Google doesn't do it. As you would think there is good money in it and better user relations. Possibly they like the authoritarian algorithm approach, and feel they are making enough money, so do

The arrogance and abusiveness of Google/YouTube is that they don't see any competition nor have fear of legal actions against them by "lowly" "nobody" users. More people have to choose alternatives to the poin

Sad situation, and hindsight is always 20/20 with such. Probably would have been good to have also uploaded videos to other similar sites/alternatives like Dailymotion, DTube, etc... In addition to the free/cheap cloud stor

And that's how they like it, extreme "techno-authoritarianism". Making as hard as possible to appeal decisions or access higher management, and the facade of customer service is usually into ignoring or gaslighting customers

Python has a much stronger relationship to C than Nim. Thus many would argue it would be a better recommendation to learn C, if a Python user. In the case of Nim, it would arguably be a language to learn instead of Python, as oppose to so

Good points. Though it would be a good debate that Go would be a better beginner language. Java's forcing of class based OOP would cause an avalanche of other kinds of problems that Go and C don't have to deal with.

I believe that different programming languages resonate better with some more than others. Often it's a matter of preferences, comfort, perceived usability, and previous experiences. So, it's quite possible for various people to

> ...the first thing you see is vlang.io, which contains many false claims... Maybe vlang.io is first, depending on the search. Even so, likely a search will also bring up V's GitHub page, usually right underneath it. There are no

Not only is the blog post from 2 and a half years ago, but it was bashing the very first alpha release of the V programming language (vlang) that just hit GitHub at that time. Could you imagine doing a brutal bashing of Zig or Nim, the firs

I'm referring to a more superficial and subtle influence, and V also has other influences (like C) and Go, but if you are working with it then you will notice them. Some are: 1) Uses modules 2) Declarations made at the top (no headers

This is a valid point. The culture of various languages forces their favorite paradigm. In the case of many class-based OOP languages (or those that have strongly adopted it), programmers can be publicly shamed and ridiculed for not writi

I think you are being overly dismissive of a language that you claim to haven't even played with. Go has been in existence since 2009, so has a 10 year developmental head start on V (mid 2019), and not to mention Go having a major pla

This is why I like how various newer languages such as Go (golang) and V (vlang) or prototype languages like JavaScript or Lua have approached OOP. V even allows to easily choose if you want it on the stack or heap. With these languages,

It's 2022 now. They've had 82 releases on GitHub and are in continuous development.

Clearly, you haven't looked more deeply. Download and play with it. To familiarize yourself, maybe better to go over: 1) documentation ( https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md ) 2)

I will have to say that I like the direction that the V programming language (vlang) is going. It has blended many good qualities of Oberon/Pascal, C, and Go. I've read a lot of debates among C and Pascal advocates, so good to s

But, not everybody likes the eye strain of overly symbolic almost hieroglyphics and unreadable chicken scratch code. A lot is to be said for readability and maintainability. And any repetitive words can be handled by IDEs, editors, and mac

Would like to add that I do like the V UI. We are talking about a cross platform UI with no dependencies, that was made to integrate from its early stages. This is partly why V is distinguishing itself from the pack.

I understand and respect that you may like that style, but also understand and respect that others don't. It's partially about preference. "Different strokes, for different folks". > It's not for me, and not fo

Put me also in the group of those not feeling nim. Sad they decided to go the Python route of white space insanity.

Yeah, I find the initial choice of license on V UI to be a bit weird. Not understanding the logic behind it, when the main and other parts are MIT, as a GPL UI is a definite way to go down the road of massive headaches, drama, and confusio

I'm a bit impressed by vlang, despite some earlier controversy from years ago. Of all the new languages, I have been keeping track of this one the most. They have also been maintaining a strong development pace. Something else that I

And something else that needs to be said specifically about the Red programming language. I like the full-stack concept, ease of use, cross-compiling, and the goals they are shooting for. But, the lead developers need to get it moving. Li

The problem is that there are so many new languages that it's hard for any of them to gain enough momentum to encourage enough programmers or businesses to learn or even look at them. Not to mention that various top 10 languages are s

Semicolons are separators in Pascal, not terminators like in C/C++. The context of usage is different. The final dot is clarifying the end of the program or unit. It also makes a more clear distinction between the main body or subrou
