Hacker News Reader

In case you don't understand the downvotes: previously on Hacker News, people (including, but not at all limited to, Ginger Bill and Andrew Kelley) got upset with V's creator for writing a lot of pro-V propaganda in advance of releasing code implementing the claimed features and indeed, in advance of releasing any code. Those threads are a fun, if tense, read, just search HN for "V programming language".

From a brief excursion into these smaller languages recently, it seems to me that since those arguments things have settled down and statements made about the language is either now available (e.g. open source, fast compile time) or marked as unfinished.

IMO it does deserve a place in that list today and is definitely worth a gander.

Thank you so much, I missed all of that. :)
