Vinix – An effort to write a modern, fast, and interesting operating system in V

  • I'm always interested to hear about people developing OS's. Hope they implement some stuff other ones don't have.

    I never heard of V so I looked it up:

    https://vlang.io/

    An implementation of 2048:

    https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/examples/2048/2048.v in V

  • I remember shenanigans when V was first announced (release date for public preview, but for a little money you get early access), people being upset that it was half-baked, etc. and wrote it off, but I've heard that it has since changed a ton and is nothing like the early days.

    Can someone familiar with recent V developments comment on this? It makes bold promises that would be awesome to see realized, but I got the feeling there was just a lot of smoke and mirrors going on in the early days.

  • Hello, I am the maintainer of Vinix and main contributor. Feel free to ask me anything about the project!

  • V is shady AF. Steer clear of it.

  • I want to ask V community a question, as they advertise their language as safe, what do they mean by safety and what does V compiler do to maintain this safety?

  • Have you bought github stars from a click farm again and then show how many stars you have compared to other langs?

  • This reads as a bit more ambitious than the usual HelloWorld or http framework example project.

  • Ah, they missed the chance to call it VNIX.

  • an interesting language. Thanks for sharing.
