In spite of this early drama it seems to be coming along fine. It feels more like go but with some different choices. Compiles itself in seconds (tcc or system c compiler as backend). I’ve written small programs in it and like it so far. It supports *BSD, linux, macos, windows, etc. but not plan9. Some folks are writing vinix, a linux like os in it + reimplementing a lot of unix programs in v.
Play with it and see what you think. Will it survive long term? Who knows but I enjoy playing with it!
