V is a general-purpose programming language with features optimized for "Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software" The language itself works with the V compiler, written in V itself though was originally written in Go. V compiles down to machine code and a C language backend.

V has no garbage collection in the compiler, a module system (known as VPM), and a UI module (maintained by the V language developers). It also has a section where they promote programs, libraries, and other pieces of software built-in V. The V developers also work on other projects in V such as V-OS.

Language Examples

A normal hello world script.

// This would be found in a v lang hello world file
fn main() {
    println("Hello world")
}

V language HTTP/Time modules. Borrowed from the example on the main website (modified for it to work).

import time
import net.http

fn main() {
	resp := http.get('https://vlang.io/utc_now') or {
		println('failed to fetch data from the server')
		return
	}
	t := time.unix(resp.text.int())
	println(t.format()) // 2019-08-16 17:48
