No it doesn't. You can build the compiler with `clang v.c`
> But the readme says that the UI package does not run on Linux, so how can Volt be written in Vlang?
The UI package is not available for everyone on Linux yet. Doesn't mean I can't use it.
> hot code reloading is not present
It will be on June 22.
Why do you spread lies and even ask to report me based on these lies? Are you the developer of Odin, who started a similar thread 3 months ago?
Note: You also deleted many comments by other individuals criticizing your claims in that issue too.
Most features requiring AST? Really? Codegeneration not possible to implement json decoding?
It's just as ridiculous as claims here like V depening on glfw and freetype.
Stating that V has no dependencies and then requiring dependencies means the original statement is false.
You have instantly earned much reputation by releasing Volt at the first time; that reputation is much easier to lose as well. People easily gets disappointed, no matter what you have achieved (or think that you can achieved); you should be very careful. Or you can stack much reputation that your mistake or short-sighted action doesn't harm yourself.

[2] Not that I like this form of release. Proprietary languages simply don't work in the modern world.
My comment was sarcasm by the way.
And sorry for the delay, I was sleeping.
EDIT: s/open source/free/
You can't call an unreleased language proprietary.
Many current programmers think F/OSS as a norm and proprietary (released or not) as exceptionally shady. Even though some may think proprietary software is acceptable, something being F/OSS is a label with the non-trivial amount of value. Your act can be interpreted as claiming that value without actually being F/OSS, no matter what was your intention.
Without releasing it you're expecting people to put blind faith in you.
V compiler doesn't require glfw or freetype. It doesn't require anything.
p.s. It says in the docs that its name is not vlang. That's just the web domain.
Honesty I don't see why the hype behind Vlang and why so optimistic comments here.
Vlang feels worse than a pre alpha software with a good marketing team that is just trying to make money. It does not even have the features it claims it has. But just look at its patreon, it gets much more than odin lang, which IMO is much further into development than vlang is.
That said, it would not be so bad if the developer did not make false claims and just say that this is pre-alpha software, but instead he makes bold claims and fights for them aggresively (see issue by gingerbill linked elsewhere on this page), which can now be seen that all of them have been lies.

People with patreon accounts should report this guy.
