Summary
In this chapter, we started with a brief introduction to V programming. We looked at the past, present, and future of V. We then explored the V language, since it is a statically typed and compiled programming language, and learned about the simplicity it has to offer when it comes to writing code. We also learned how, even though V is still in development and constantly evolving, it provides guaranteed backward compatibility, stability, and easy upgrades to future versions.
Later, we learned about the various features of V programming, Vinix, an OS kernel written using V, and considered V as a framework. Finally, we learned about what operating systems V supports.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to install V on the Windows and Ubuntu operating systems. We will also learn how to add a V executable to an environment variable so that it can be accessed from any directory in the OS.
