The past, present, and future of V

V is a new programming language created in early 2019 by Alexander Medvednikov. The creator has come up with an extensive vision for the V language and the features it offers. Therefore, the V language and its various features are undergoing heavy development. The official website is https://vlang.io/. The V programming language is open sourced and licensed under MIT. You can refer to the entire source code of V on its official GitHub repository at https://github.com/vlang/v.

V has an active community of developers and contributors. The community is highly active and responsive to issues raised on GitHub. You can participate in discussions at https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions and the team is also available on Discord: https://discord.gg/vlang.

V comes with a lot of performance optimizations that are on par with C compared to any other programming language, such as Go, Java, or Python to mention a few..

From version 0.3, V is expected to have the ability to translate C code to human readable V code. Also, you will be able to generate V wrappers on the top of C libraries.
