About:
V is a simple, fast, safe, and compiled programming language for developing maintainable software. It compiles to native machine code in under a second and features a memory-safe design with built-in garbage collection and no null references. The language includes a built-in test runner and hot code reloading for rapid development.
Key Features:

  • Memory safety without garbage collector overhead
  • Built-in dependency management and testing
  • C-like syntax with modern features
Use Cases:
  • Building high-performance command-line tools
  • Developing systems programming projects
  • Creating cross-platform applications
Alternatives:
  • Go – Simpler syntax but slower compilation and larger binaries
  • Rust – More complex but offers finer memory control
  • C – Safer with modern features and faster compilation
