I'm working on something that might do #4 and #5:

https://vlang.io/#ui

An example of a small GUI app:

https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/examples/users_gui

The app is about 100 KB on all platforms with zero dependencies and uses native toolkits (WinAPI, Cocoa).

V looks pretty slick, though your 'comparison' to nim (https://vlang.io/compare#nim) is incomplete.

i.e. you don't actually write comparable code. Instead, you just lambast how slow the compiler is.

The comparison is very biased. Various claims are not true or provided without context.

If you say what exactly is wrong, I'll update the page.

As everyone on HN, looking forward to being able to use the vlang compiler (sorry, you're going to have a hard time making anyone use V as the language name, for sad search engine reasons ;)
