- Vinix, an OS/kernel written in pure V, booting on real hardware in a second and running the C++ compiler! github.com/vlang/vinix vinix-os.org
00:00 - Lots of people using V or coming back to V are saying how much more stable it has become. V is now officially out of alpha and into beta!
- V is very similar to Go, but many common tasks are easier and less verbose: (1/2)
- Both of our previous language server attempts have been bad. Unstable and taking up lots of resources. A new, pure V language server is coming this week. It's very stable and uses <50MB of RAM. No more Tree Sitter and Rust dependencies. It's in pure V!
- V's hot code reloading now works on Windows. Previously it only worked on Linux and macOS.
00:00 - A proof of concept build of the Vox browser has been released: vox.sx Similar to Ladybird, it's a new independent browser built from scratch in V. It's at an early stage, but it can already handle simple sites like HN with 4x less RAM and 20x faster rendering:
- Progress bars in your terminal with V: github.com/tobealive/bart…
00:00 - Vinix, a new OS/kernel written from scratch in V, can now run GTK3! github.com/vlang/vinix
