The V programming language: a simple, fast, safe compiled language whose compiler bootstraps itself in under a second with zero library dependencies. It compiles to human-readable C (with native, tcc, and JavaScript backends), includes built-in ORM, web framework, graphics library, and C-to-V translation.
Use cases
- write fast compiled systems software
- translate legacy C codebases to a safer language
- build web backends with a built-in framework and ORM
- learn a simple programming language in a weekend
- cross-compile binaries for multiple platforms
- develop an operating system or low-level software
- hot-reload code during development
When to choose
- you want C-level performance with a simpler, safer language
- you need extremely fast compile times
- you want to migrate C code automatically
- you prefer a small, stable language with a 1.0 feature freeze planned
When to avoid
- you need a mature 1.0 language with guaranteed stability
- your team relies on a large ecosystem of third-party libraries
- you need guaranteed no-undefined-behavior safety today (still work-in-progress)
- you depend on long-term ABI/API stability before 1.0
