> TIOBE's data is so botched...

Stop deluding yourself. If we take out TIOBE, and use the IEEE's Top Programming Languages of 2022, D is still recognized (even higher than the 30s) while Zig, Nim, or Crystal do not even make their chart. That's the reality.

> Vlang...

To begin with, you are a known troll (with possibly multiple troll accounts at HN) that has spent over an year engaging in slander and lies about the language almost any time it's mentioned.

Looks like you are the creator or involved with some other language that can't get as much support or popularity. It would be advisable for you to stop being obsessed with Vlang. How many years of your life will you waste on such childish antics? You would be better off focusing on making your programming language better, if it's not already too late and its a failure.

As for pushing this bold face lie that the language is a "scam", that's both ludicrous and easily proven false. Vlang has many hundreds of code examples and projects. Easily found at: 1) Vlang examples on GitHub (vlang/V/tree/master/examples). 2) Vlang at Rosetta Code (https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Vlang). 3) Awesome Vlang at GitHub (https://github.com/vlang/awesome-v).

The "scam" is you tricking yourself into thinking that your troll tactics are working. Instead, your continual defamation is making what you are even more obvious.

Where I totally agree with you is about how we can have different interpretations of what this involves. Thus, I kind of go with examples and projects. Awesome V on GitHub, would probably be a good place to find something, if a person wanted to get into some significant projects, but don't know how deep the OP wants to go.

V might be worth considering.

You can actually try to have a magic language which "does not ignore decades of PL research" but you are likely to get either something broken or a project that is likely not going to release in our lifetime.

I’m pretty optimistic about V, it so far has great language ergonomics, solid performance, and memory safety through its “autofree” memory feature flag. https://vlang.io/

Rust is increasingly beginning to be integrated into Linux Kernel Modules, Android, and even Ruby's new YJIT. C served it's purpose, but it should not be used anymore due to all of the security vulnerabilities it has allowed over the decades. Use Go, Rust, Crystal, Nim, Zig (no GC), or even V (no GC) instead, literally anything besides C/C++. If you still insist on continuing to use C/C++ for new projects, you are taking an unnecessary risk and potentially putting other users or your employer's security at risk.

There was this language V which I heard came out recently.

May be irrelevant here but I stumbled across a new programming langauge called V [1] that is heavily inspired by Go and does not rely on LLVM rather directly generates C.

Operating system is already a spyware and next arms race is for everyone to arm their compilers. Good going, product managers.

A few days ago, I found out about this new programming language V. On their webpage they claim that it is simple, fast, safe and compiled.

You can check out V (https://vlang.io/). It's still a pre-v1.0 language but it's built on solid ideas (e.g. Go-like concurrency, Lobster-like memory management). Comparison with Go:

Would love to hear your opinion about V too especially since one of its main selling points is fast build times:

or Vlang (https://vlang.io/), which can compile to C, and has a C2V transpiler.
