viup VS v-mode

Yeah, I find the license on V UI to be a bit weird. Not understanding the logic behind it, as GPL is a definite way to cause massive headaches, drama, and confusion. GPL can give an unfriendly impression to those they probably could use help or support from.

It's still the early stages of the library and the language, so maybe it won't turn into some kind of mess. Still, not seeing why they didn't at least go LGPL, like many other projects have done who went. Seems like LGPL would have been the right balance to prevent sending mixed or "warning" signals.

There is also VIUP (https://github.com/kjlaw89/viup), which is a port of IUP. That's under the expected MIT license. So, it's not like more adventurous types can't go play with that.

Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python.

I really hope they succeed.

And again a No true Scotsman. If that's the kind of attitude you have towards languages, you'll appreciate V infinitely more than you might be appreciating Rust. After all, it offers better solutions than Rust, like autofree, they just aren't there yet :)

I discovered VLang today. It's an interesting project.

According to their own benchmarks, Seed7 can run faster than C (it compiles to C, but it's entirely possible the emited code is better optimized than a human could write directly in C)... it doesn't have a GC BUT manages memory automatically (I didn't really follow the explanation in the FAQ, something about automatically freeing variables that go out of scope and keeping only one reference around?)... that's like a current pipe dream for language designers! From https://vale.dev/ to https://vlang.io/, no one has pulled that off yet, to my knowledge... has Seed7 done that all those years ago?!
