I'm working on a language with a focus on simplicity and "only one way to do it": https://vlang.io

The development has been going quite well:

Really interesting. For the skeptics, this is not just a proof of concept. There is a real app made using this language: https://volt-app.com/

and the REPL only leaks 1MB [1] to compile and run a hello world program.

It doesn't anymore.

There are lots of issues that are being fixed. Strange nitpicking on alpha software.

This is great! Thanks for your work. Can V be integrated into existing c++ projects? I work in audio and constantly working in c++ is tiring. I'd love to work in something like V and transpile down.

Thanks! Absolutely. Calling V code is as simple as calling C (V can emit C).

If I wanted a language with "only one way to do it", i'd use Brainfuck. Which, btw, is very easy to learn, well documented, and the same source code runs on many, many platforms.
