Hello V-Lang
We could, but it's not yet public. Rest assured, it exists and there is work going forward on it to get it out the door somewhat soon.
You may find the public `go2v` work interesting. It's being worked on by some other folks in the community: https://github.com/vlang/go2v

V Language Review (2023)
The creator of V made some big claims that raised a few eyeballs, they've gained a reasonable following over the years, have a pretty serious looking website (https://vlang.io) a beer-money level Patreon following and some corporate partnerships/sponsors. However have experienced some pretty brutal takedowns over the years, with some of the bolder claims about the language/compiler being exposed as being.
A word I keep seeing in relation to V is "aspirational" - the project aspires to be a serious language with some major features, so I think it's fair to approach it with a more critical eye than one would a kid's side-project. I think HN would have been pretty understanding if they were open about the state of the various features and were a little less defensive when they encounter articles that treat it like a Real Language and review it as such. If the authors don't want this kind of feedback they can just say front-and-centre (or on their FAQ @ https://github.com/vlang/v/wiki/FAQ) "this is a toy" or "this is pre-alpha"

Why is Vlang's autofree model not more widely used?
Autofree has existed for years and can work. Here is a demo. It is used in V's Vinix OS, Ved, and other applications. Part of the issue is there are detractors who purposefully spread misinformation nor know about its other memory options, and the other part is understanding how to use it.

V Language Review (2022)
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.

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

Cello – High Level C
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.
- Vinix is an effort to write a modern, fast, and useful operating system in the V programming language
- An effort to write a modern, fast, and interesting operating system in V.
What are some alternatives?
v - Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io
zig-gamedev - Main monorepo for @zig-gamedev libs and example applications
v-mode - 🌻 An Emacs major mode for the V programming language.
cfront-3 - self education and historical research of the C++ compiler cfront v3
awesome-v - A curated list of awesome V frameworks, libraries, software and resources.
procs - Unix process&system query&format lib&multi-command CLI in Nim
Cello - Higher level programming in C
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
NimForUE - Nim plugin for UE5 with native performance, hot reloading and full interop that sits between C++ and Blueprints. This allows you to do common UE workflows like for example to extend any UE class in Nim and extending it again in Blueprint if you wish so without restarting the editor. The final aim is to be able to do in Nim what you can do in C++
ved - 1 MB text editor written in V with hardware accelerated text rendering. Compiles in <1s.
axiom - A 64-bit kernel implemented in Nim
zig - General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
