There is also Vlang (https://vlang.io/), which has C interop and can be compiled into C. In addition to it being both a Go and C alternative language, that has high readability and usability, to include being able to use it like a scripting language.

I didn't know about Vlang, I checked it out, looks very cool.

Vely is really not a language breakthrough. Not at all.

I would say Vely is a practical workhorse. It is about power of rapidly doing business. Kind of like PHP but more in a declarative way like SQL, within C.

As in, you need a collection of libraries that do all the stuff you need to build an application (run queries, build strings really easy, execute programs, do web calls, deamonize programs etc.).

And you need it without writing C code or using API or procuring libraries and header files, but rather you'd just spill your thoughts about what to do in a language that sounds like a natural language, where even the order of how you say it isn't that important.

A fair review for readers information: https://mawfig.github.io/2022/06/18/v-lang-in-2022.html

You are just spamming that negative hit and run smear job, which is being used as a new weapon (linkable smear document) by detractors and competitors, that was made by a user with a throwaway account. The purpose is to keep attempting to spam it, including other negative slander of the author or smearing of the language, all over the internet (HN and other sites). There is nothing "fair" about such hit jobs, nor was it ever intended to be.

They made that one post on GitHub and ran. With no intentions of updating it or correcting its errors, not to interact with anyone, nor to review any other programming languages.

It even refers to an older version of V (0.2 versus 0.3), with various issues that are not even relevant anymore or are their bias one-sided uneducated opinions. It purposely gives readers no balance or an opposing perspective, and is presented with no feedback from Vlang's developers or community (despite having a GitHub account).

Oddly, your account's history and purpose seems to be super laser focused on specifically attacking and trolling anything referring to Vlang.
