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: The V Language: The Best Parts of Go, Rust, and Python — All in One (2026)[8] What Can I Do with Vlang?

uraged. Instead of globals, users of V would use struct fields that hold data between function calls. Globals are to be only used under certain circumstances or for specific compatibility reasons with other languages, and is activated only through a flag. It is conveniently forgotten that V is many years younger than the other languages referred to. Despite this, it's forced to carry the unrealistic expectations of critics, from before it was even released to the public and while still in alpha and beta. Amazingly, its older competitors are allowed to not deliver on their "promises" (twist the definitions of project goals), be hobbled by thousands of issues (per their GitHubs), and continue to fail at achieving 1.0 (and likely no time in the next few years). Then the final "kick below the belt", is to give the impression that V doesn't challenge its older rivals. But if we look on TIOBE, we find that V is ranked 43 (May 2025). Zig, Odin, C3, etc... are not even in the TIOBE top 50. Jai at least has an excuse, as is not public, but is still several years older. Not only does V challenge the other so-called players, but appears subject to forces trying to derail or harm the project.
