thoughts on V or Vlang ?

Recently I heard about this programming language that had the stable launch just recently.

It's called V, also known as Vlang.

It have interesting features such as the ability to convert C code into V, and it have an official ORM, YES!!! a programming language with an official ORM, it have two built-in web frameworks: Veb & vweb, there's Valval & vex & mantis but they're not built-in.

Additionally, there's vsql (a SQL-based RDBMS) and Vox (a web browser written in V) and Vorum (similar to phpBB/vBulletin/MyBB/flaskBB but written in V) & vblog & volt.im

the language overall is mix from Go & Rust from what I see.

any thoughts on this ? and whether it's worthy to learn ?

id say there are plenty of programming language that are battle tested and have much more reliability.

the language feels weird, looks like a mix of rust, python and c.

i don't see any reason to migrate to v from any other language, because of that i do not see the point in it.

I'm not migrating, I use Python as my main language, maybe sometimes few PHP, few Ruby, etc.

But I do experiment new languages sometimes.

php + rust + python are very acceptable especially when it comes to having variability for an onion site

well basically if they can get a language that is easy to develop in with the performance of rust and c it might be good, but it will be too hard to move out of classical programming languages.

i didn't say you were migrating, im just saying i do not see the point in creating a new programming language every 5 minutes lol, the world will look a lot better when quality will come over quantity and not the other way around.

i think if you know python, js,c and php. you pretty much handle every possible task.

im not saying you need or do not need to migrate or something, just throwing my thoughts on the subject
