Why is Vlang's autofree model not more widely used?

• v-mode

  89 57 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  🌻 An Emacs major mode for the V programming language.

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

• Vale

  64 1,672 6.8 Scala

  Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/ (by ValeLang)

  

Some form of escape analysis is quite widely used in compiled languages, but it usually treated as an optimization and not a feature as it can't be relied upon to work in all instances and it doesn't affect the programmer's viewpoint for the most part. I'm pretty sure Swift does it, so do HotSpot (VM) and Go. Vale's dev has some nice blog posts about it, though it's used for a bit of a different purpose there (vale.dev for the language, verdagon.dev for the blog)

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  Vinix is an effort to write a modern, fast, and useful operating system in the V programming language

  

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.

• ved

  6 1,338 6.9 V

  1 MB text editor written in V with hardware accelerated text rendering. Compiles in <1s.
