vinix

It's interesting how the language author of V was bullied and harrassed for his early language [0] and with time V has made very substantial progress with C2V [1], and an OS written in V [2] and various language improvements. This (and many future updates of V) has now rendered pretty much most criticisms in this attack post irrelevant, after all of this V is gaining traction, a community forming around the language and with great backing, It goes to show that programmers are far too quick to jump the gun on languages. I congratulate Alex for persisting on V. [0] https://xeiaso.net/blog/series/v [1] https://github.com/vlang/c2v [2] https://github.com/vlang/vinix

And that's why vinix [1] is full of manual free calls? That tells how good autofree is, isn't it? Can you compile v compiler with autofree? Last time I checked, you can't. [1] https://github.com/vlang/vinix/search?q=free&type=code

vweb, volt, and ved are not a "little more than alpha" yes, the os is being developed in V, and it can already run bash, GCC, G++, and Doom. https://github.com/vlang/vinix the person working on it, is an osdev, and not a compiler developer

If you'd like to check out more about V, here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/vlang/v Very thorough documentation: https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md One of the coolest latest projects is the Vinix OS, written fully in V: https://github.com/vlang/vinix It's a POSIX OS that already runs libc, bash, GCC, g++, and Doom.

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 easy to interact with C and are viable alternatives to it as well. Vlang even created its own OS, Vinix (https://github.com/vlang/vinix), to show its capabilities in this regard. Seems to me, Cello would be more for those C programmers that didn't want to try the various alternative languages that are now out, and happen to agree with its developer's interpretation of preferred higher level abstractions and what they should look like. The point of these alternative languages is to offer features that C doesn't have or to implement them in easier or clearer ways.
