V (programming language)

Systems Language

V is a statically typed, compiled systems programming language created by Alexander Medvednikov, first publicly released in 2019, designed for building maintainable, safe and fast software with a simple syntax intentionally similar to Go. V emphasizes memory safety without a garbage collector by default, fast compilation, and built-in support for cross-compilation, hot code reloading and a small binary output size, positioning itself as an alternative to Go, Rust and C for systems and application programming.
