V (Vlang)

V (2024 updates) focuses on compilation speed (1 million LOC/s) and safety (Autofree). It aims to be a modern C replacement with Go-like simplicity.

When to Use

• Fast Compilation: Iteration speed of an interpreted language.
• Graphics: v ui module provides a cross-platform UI toolkit.
• No Dependencies: V is a single binary executable.

Core Concepts

Autofree

Compiler inserts free() calls automatically (experimental/improving).

C Interop

C.printf(). Direct calling of C functions.
