I’ve played with the V language and I like it. I also was able to run into problems almost immediately. However since the language was easy for me to read and write, and I like the principles that it espouses, I chose to help the project out instead of criticizing its shortcomings. I have submitted many fixes. It should be obvious to any developer who has experience that the language is in an early stage of development. I’m sure the over-selling of the language and compiler did nothing to help its reputation but I do see it coming along and getting closer to its claims. It is still not there yet.
I tried for about a year to like Zig but the language never resonated with me. When I look at the source code in a high level language, I like to have at least a reasonable idea of the generated machine code. I don’t get that with Zig. So, I quit playing with it about 2 years ago. For those who don’t like V or just flat out hate it, well, no one is forcing you to use it.
