@v_language @yandex The yandex connection for me was made via someone who was submitting py2many prs with a @yandex.ru email address. Perhaps it's like gmail in Russia? Not an employee?

The challenges of talking about @v_language on social media. Especially reddit and HN. 🧵

midvi, a cross-platform MIDI library for V, supporting both MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0 (UMP):
github.com/Krotki/midvi
Backends are loaded at runtime. No compile-time C headers or static linking required.

@arundsharma @yandex We have no shady people and no connections to yandex :)
English
They think that the language is written by "immoral" people with a "shady" past. It's associated with @yandex and ethnic Russians etc.
English
@tms_hbr There's some optimization, but nowhere near close to gcc/clang -O3. That will always be the go to option for production builds.
English
@v_language is this also useable with -prod or only replacement for tcc ?

For those wondering how fast V's new self-hosted ARM64 backend is, it currently takes 0.5 seconds to compile V.
We'll optimize it and bring that number down to around 0.3 seconds.
The V Programming Language@v_language
Great news! V's new arm64 backend is now self hosted as well! It means that for the first time ever you don't need a C compiler to compile V. amd64 later this month.

VLS now has inlay hints (can be disabled with a setting):

@turbofish_pk You're replying to a tweet about directly compiling to native code.
English
@v_language One more question if I may. Why is C and or javascript used as backends? Why not directly compiling like with Rust?

The V Programming Language@v_language
V's new backend is now self hosted (can compile itself)! Only one of the 4 new backends is self hosted so far: Clean C. It does direct V AST => C translation, like old V's main backend. SSA C, SSA arm64, and SSA amd64 will be self hosted soon as well.
English
@turbofish_pk It can be literally used for anything. Check out vlang.io and vlang.io/compare
Lots of features and use cases.
English
@v_language Congrats! I am interested only in x86_64, but have you posted anywhere what is the use case of V. I use mainly Rust and some C. What could I expect from V? Thanks.

@exvillager We use Go's concurrency model. Coroutines, no colored functions.
What are you missing?
English
@v_language when are you going to have asynchronous support in v?
afaik there isn't a library whcih can be used for async task like libuv.
English
@norkscReal We recently added lots of crypto modules. Which ones are you missing?
English
@v_language Honestly Vlang looks great it’s fast lightweight and simple to use the main issue right now is the ecosystem since many libraries are still missing especially for things like encryption or PDF support the language itself is solid but the libraries still need more time to grow

@arundsharma @rustlang V also gives you single binary distribution btw ;)
English
The idea is that code written using this skill can be quickly translated into a compiled language such as @v_language for fast compilation and single binary distribution or @rustlang if you don't mind longer compile times and want memory safety.

@v_language bro, that's great, but uhhh 1M+ infinity scroll in JS + old webgl, 4 years ago on decade+ old low end consumer hardware... so i'd hope custom lang would be faster, i know u can do it!
it supports crazy layout combos even more today now too!

🫢☺️😱 I'm gushing. Blushing. ------> Infinity Scroll ----> -> thru 1million "divs" -> sexy butter smooth, in @SecureRender. Better than native apps! 🤯 🤤 Thanks to @aethiop_io @DariusGrauslys @DanRaeder @AbenezerMario @videaris 's algorithm. The web's future is here. 🔇→🔊

V's immediate mode UI is very efficient.
With 5K widgets, it only takes a few milliseconds to build new layouts.
v install gui
English
Here's my own immediate-mode GUI framework in Rust, getting the same fps with 20k widgets, with OBS on.
(I normally get 60 fps with 30k widgets without OBS.)
And I still think that's kinda bad.
Memory consumption not shown, but 66 MiB according to KDE's system monitor.

@scorrpo @v_language ouch. But you can't compare a toy language with a real language.
