You mentioned this in another comment but how do you feel about the other new systems level programming languages and how they compare to V like nim, zig, rust etc.

I don't know much about nim but I have seen my fair share of Rust and Zig code. Out of these 2, I'd personally pick Zig if I had to choose. Rust's syntax doesn't resonate with me very much and I feel like it tries to hand hold too much at times.

That said I am a programmer and as such I am more into what I can get done with these tools rather than the tools themselves. Whatever I feel can get the job done for whatever I need to do is okay with me. In Vinix's case, I can confirm from personal experience that V has been able to get the job done so far effortlessly.
