I get you want to compare with Go, let have some benchmark. Despite V being new, the difference is quite insignificant for short-lived process in most case. You are more likely use Go for production at this time.

Depends on the use case and persons involved. Nevertheless, V is on a constant march towards 1.0, and has been doing so at a higher pace than most other languages.

And, its not necessarily an "either or" or "us versus them" situation, people can use both or whatever else "floats their boat". It's a bit disheartening to see programmers that fall into being so closed-minded or disparaging to other options or something new.

It also doesn’t work :)

You have never used it or are on an unnecessary disrespectful troll crusade. It works very well, for many of its fans, and keeps improving and getting better (at a high constant pace).

Watch, learn, download, and enjoy this V program (https://youtu.be/6H7dprSwr74), among so many other examples (https://github.com/vlang/V/tree/master/examples).

That's complete and uncalled for troll nonsense. V has hundred of releases (https://github.com/vlang/v/releases), with hundreds of contributors to its open-source project (577 and growing). It exists and works.

It's one thing to like some other language, its another thing to spew disinformation, lies, and flames about others.

The V creator makes a lot of promises but most don't pan out. When pressed on them, they often say it's "planned," not actually here, even though their marketing says it is here.

Look at your comments and post history in the past couple of weeks. You submitted 3 separate posts about V, and your recent comments are just calling people who call out V "trolls" and "spammers." Observe your own bias before you cast others down.

I hope you don't have some mental issue that doesn't allow you to discern differences. To support or like a programming language is not spamming or trolling.

I'm not running around HN posting that "Rust is lies", "Zig is fake", "C++ is dead", etc... To include, not here insulting or trolling the creators of other languages. Lastly, nor am I spamming people to visit my website or troll blogs, that contain resume and Patreon accounts.

If I don't like a programming language, I simply don't use it. Don't need to post hate spam everywhere or tell lies about it. If I like a programming language, I might post about it. And I'm not such a blind evangelist or fanatic, that I only have "one true language" and then crap and troll on all others.

It has an automated release generated every week. The could be no commit activity whatsoever and there would still be 52 "releases" of V every year.

It's one thing to like V but it's another to constantly repeat misleading information in an attempt to give it more credence than it has.

Even V's own changelog only contains 28 releases (mostly from the 0.1 era in 2019 - early 2020) not "hundreds" like you've claimed.

https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

For starters, you are a known troll account. Your very account name, vlang1dot0, was made to harass and troll. That is all that you do on HN.

I was referring to the GitHub releases, which very clearly state they are releases. Each of these Vlang GitHub weekly releases has a compare tag to show what has changed from previous releases.

This is a comparison of changes made between the latest release and the one of 4 weeks ago: https://github.com/vlang/v/compare/weekly.2022.35...weekly.2.... That's 150 commits and 722 files changed. The releases are clearly different, with numerous changes. That's 1 month of changes, if we looked at 3 months, 6 months... We would see even more massive amounts of progression.

Now, back to the FUD you are pushing with your known troll account. The game you are trying to play is to obfuscate the clear as day lie that V is vaporware. Nobody is falling for it. And the more you keep engaging in trolling the V language, the more obvious it becomes to everyone else what you are doing and what your agenda is all about.

Didn't dang already issue you a warning for this perpetual nonsense?
