Backward compatibility, stability, and easy to upgrade to future versions

The V programming language, at the time of writing this book, is still in development. But it has evolved a lot since its inception and has received a lot of appreciation from software engineering communities across the world. This book attempts to introduce various programming features that V has already got in detail throughout this book.

Although it is noteworthy that V is still in development at the time of writing this book, beginning with version 1, it will be highly stable and also offers a backward compatibility guarantee. V's formatter, vfmt, automatically takes care of upgrading your code for you. So, you don't have to manually identify the incompatible syntax when you upgrade your version of V.
