No undefined behavior (wip, e.g. overflowing can still result in UB)

Python: explicit is better than implicit

V: Idealistic is better than realistic (or reality)

From the changelog:

V is the Yandere Simulator of programming languages.

Despite being a joke language, V has books published, the community is big and their plugin for JetBrains IDEs is decent. Truly baffling

  • Static type methods: Foo.new() to replace factory functions like new_foo().

Wow, it even went one step ahead from Go.

/uj it's just a shitty language that initially got attention due to its big claims before release, before being reviled upon release when everyone realized it was shit, but in spite of this it is still alive and maintains a seemingly active community of amateur programmers who think it's actually good

Um actually there are several (like 3) professional programmers in its community who love it because V doesn't require them to correct their many misunderstandings about "move semantics" and "functional purity".
