This newer programming language is INSANE👩‍💻 #technology #programming #software #opensource

Hi everyone! Thanks for watching :) Just wanted to clear some things up:

1. This is NOT a paid ad. V is open source and I have not been paid or reached out by the owner of the language to do this video. If you look at my other videos, I give shoutouts to open source projects and ads are specified as ads.

2. I will NOT be abandoning Python in favor of V. They aren't really comparible. Also, V lacks the community and ecosystem that other languages (Rust, Python, Go) have. I was just trying to make a joke but understand why it comes off as silly :)

Appreciate all the positive (and constructive) comments in regards to this video.

Company HR's on job posting: *3-5 years of coding experience required in V*

When all programming languages are still being compared to native C, this really says something about the quality of C.

[brycecrichfield]

“As fast as C”. I’ll believe it when I see it

[provsalt]

This is worser than go. Their immutability is somehow mutable, performance is a shit hole with different memory leaks unresolved for years. it even has plans of transpilling golang libraries to v. please do more research before creating videos like this.

This seems like a low budget version of rust.

Language popularity and relevance today is defined by their community and tooling, not pure language quality.

The v community seems to lie a bit about the performance. It seems the phrase as fast as C comes from the fact that they compile V code to C. What they fail to mention is that they copy things like a garbage collector into the C code, which is itself extra work a C program would not have to do. They do a lot of things to avoid having the GC running, but it's definitely still there. This extra work means that it's not equivalent to C. You could technically make almost any language compile to C and bundle a garbage collector, but just because it compiled to C doesn't mean it's equivalent to the same program written in C. I've reached out to the community before with these issues but they don't seem to hear me and they get angry. There are a number of other strange language decisions that turn people off of V too, they're available on blogs on the internet.

I remember when V was announced like a year ago, I also remember the author lying about certain features. I don’t remember what exactly though.

The reason the V binaries are small is because they depend on dynamically linked libraries. Everything V has exists in Rust and Rust even helps with memory managment. V loves to have memory leaks and just close issues reporting them, after saying to compile with some flag even though there are still memory leaks.

No thanks. Still on the Rust both safe and fast track 🦀

Abandon python? Python is a completely different language that is used for much different things. This language can't replace python in the slightest because python isn't even a compiled language.

[sevillab]

How many languages are out there?
Another one.

[xDELTAGIx]

Rather just use rust, plus rust error handling is amazing

[sukoon-e-alfaz]

When I learn a programming lang a better programming Lang comes out 🤔

[rGCSEinformed]

Him: “extremely small packages”
Men: “I have that”

[victorwestmann]

I'm still trying to make something out of python. Easy to write, easy to read and community is great.

[itsguardiantime]

I was just thinking "oh yeah pretty cool" but when he said it was as fast as native C I gave myself whiplash

[framepointer]

V is vaporware. It leaked memory on hello world not so long ago LOL

[jmc]

Oh my god what is this post 💀 V is a meme language
