Looks too weird to repost an old 2023 rant about an alpha or very old version of a language, in 2026. Particularly when it's full of outdated, questionable, or outright misinformation. Languages in development are not static, they change.
* VUI, Delphi-like visual editor, iOS support
There is now UI2 (VUI2)[1]. Along with GUI (official alternative UI toolkit)[2], many other UI toolkits (Simple_GG[3], IUI...), and bindings for raygui, dear imgui, etc...
UI2 (VUI2) has a WYSIWYG visual editor called UI2 Studio and supports both iOS and Android (along with desktop).
* C2V
Is used for many different V projects, like their raylib bindings, for example.
* Memory Management
There is flexible memory management, meaning the user is provided with various options to choose from, and where V's libraries are separate from and don't depend on any of t

hem. Options: GC, VGC (V's GC), autofree, ownership, arena, manual... The default is GC or VGC (for user convenience). VGC is already built and going through testing. The other options are for experts, going through their phases of development.
V's Rust-like or Dlang-like inspired ownership was used to translate Rust's ripgrep to V[4].
* Documentation
V's documentation is constantly updated, the language has several books written on it (available on Amazon), to include 3rd party sites with detailed tutorials or hundreds of code examples: Exercism, Rosetta Code, Codefreelance, (Codecaine)[5]...
* Coroutines
V has ported goroutines[6] and is a default library, in addition to having photon as a 3rd-party. Photon is still under active development and has made it clear (years ago) that they would support the Windows OS[7].
* Presenting neutral 3rd party opinions
The unhinged looking ranting at the bottom of the blog demonstrates it's not neutral, shows odd personal issues against an entire community, involves specific targeting for dubious reasons, etc...
* Neutral, more recent, and 3rd party opinions:
