Cool!

I've translated it from Rust to V in 45 minutes. Works great:

Compiles in 0.2 seconds on my M5 (compared to Rust's 3.3 seconds).

Can you please link to V claiming to be production ready?

The code you pasted doesn't compile, so it's you who are lying.

Can you link to the promised autofree without GC?

> For me the biggest gap in programming languages is a rust like language with a garbage collector, instead of a borrow checker.

https://vlang.io

GC, sum types, result/option types, interfaces, no OOP, fast compilation.

Legit interested, what's subpar about the translation?

A lot of text, you didn't answer my simple questions though:

> Can you list any weird behavior/bugs that lead to frustration and confusion?

> And examples of the documentation being outdated/wrong?

Since you wrote

> The documentation is outdated, missing or wrong.

> using it for any real world project is an exercise in frustration and confusion

that shouldn't be hard

People that build the OS don't work on the compiler, not sure what that was about.

Such discussions are always the same. You say there are lots of issues, but can never list one. And you point to articles that complain about V using libc or that C2V was released in 2022 and not earlier. It's 2025!

Our documentation is very vast and up-to-date and we try to keep it up-to-date. So if you say it's wrong/missing/outdated, you could post a couple of examples, so that we can fix it. That shouldn't be hard for you.

As for an issue you referenced, yes a pre-1.0 language has bugs. Thousands. Like all other pre-1.0 languages being developed. We fix them quickly (~9k fixed, ~800 open)

Good point. I'll add the homebrew installation method. Maybe some other popular package managers.

V is very easy to install from source and to bootstrap. And it changes fast. So we're not big fans of package managers yet.

Hm V literally has a big discussion called

"What don't you like about V / what would you like to be changed?"

What exactly do you think only looks good on paper?

The network library doesn't use curl:
