What you think about vlang?
>You can learn the entire language by going through the documentation over a weekend, and in most cases there's only one way to do something.
>This results in simple, readable, and maintainable code.
>Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc.
>V is very similar to Go. If you know Go, you already know ≈80% of V. Things V improves on Go: vlang.io/compare#go.

>80% the same as Go
What is the point then?
If they think Go got 80% right they should have designed a language that lets you change the remaining 20% to whatever you need, then waited to see what works best.
Every other week there's a language which is 80% the same as Go, this only ever endears me to Go since it's the thing everyone's copying. The resultant languages might as well be randomly generated.

Shady rusky language. When it first came out the network library was calling the curl executable. Not even using libcurl. I wouldn't trust it. Go with Odin or Zig for a similar language in the better C category.
