I think v-lang is faster than ki, rust, go. But their memory management isnt waterproof. Also, they have been in development for a really long time and there isnt much progress. They should have reached 1.0 by now, but they havent and i think it's because the language might have problems.

oh and, v-lang does have GC. they use boehm gc.

These are strange statements. People having any familiarity with newer programming languages are likely to not know or be confused by where this is coming from.

V is a relatively new language that came out in 2019 and is in beta. So comparatively speaking, V has progressed well at the least, debatably quite fast. V also has more GitHub stars than all the listed below languages (in beta) combined (per OSS Github language rankings). Let's look at the starting dates for these popular and newer languages:

1) Zig came out in 2016 and is still in beta.

2) Odin came out in 2016 and is still in beta.

3) Jai started in 2014 (full time around 2017) and is still in beta.

4) Red came out in 2011 and is still in beta.

The languages that we see today, which are popular and at the top of the rankings (like TIOBE) are significantly to quite old. Among the youngest languages in the top 20 (your post mentions Rust and Go), they came out in 2015 (Rust), 2014 (Swift), and 2009 (Go). All of these have huge corporate support.

I thought v was older, hmm, ok. But still, all these languages should have reached 1.0 by now. Except for jai, because jblow has other things todo. Wasnt c created in 2 weeks?

Does a hello world still leak memory?
