awesome-v VS vos

> 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.

And that's why vinix [1] is full of manual free call? That tells how good autofree is, isn't it? Can you compile v compiler with autofree? Last time I checked, you can't.

If you'd like to check out more about V, here's the GitHub repo:

https://github.com/vlang/v

Very thorough documentation: https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md

One of the coolest latest projects is the Vinix OS, written fully in V:

https://github.com/vlang/vinix

It's a POSIX OS that already runs libc, bash, GCC, g++, and Doom.

vweb, volt, and ved are not a "little more than alpha"

yes, the os is being developed in V, and it can already run bash, GCC, G++, and Doom.

It's a great concept, but languages like Rust (https://www.rust-lang.org/), Zig (https://ziglang.org), Vlang (https://vlang.io/), etc... are already running with a similar idea to being easy to interact with C and are viable alternatives to it as well. Vlang even created its own OS, Vinix (https://github.com/vlang/vinix), to show its capabilities in this regard.

Seems to me, Cello would be more for those C programmers that didn't want to try the various alternative languages that are now out, and happen to agree with its developer's interpretation of what high level constructs would look like. The point of these alternative languages is to offer features that C doesn't have or to implement them in easier or clearer ways.
