HPR4025: Testing V language
Hosted by Celeste on 2024-01-05 00:00:00 Download or Listen
Pros
- Strong static typing
- compiles to C, no useless complexity like the JVM. Strong foundation, C is here to stay and compiles to most obscure architectures
- small binary size
- pattern matching and sum types
- immutability by default
- option/result types
- compile time reflection
- most Rust features, but memory management is automatic via GC or -autofree. Really useful for GUI programs
Cons
- still in beta
- wants to be "clean", but they're adding too many features
- database ORM into the language
- GPU shaders
