New Promising Programming Language: V

Found out that there's a new programming language called V (2019). At glance it's like combination of Go and Rust. Seems really promising, has really fast compilation speed.

• No global state
• No null
• No undefined values
• Option types
• Generics
• Immutability by default
• Partially pure functions
• Hot Code Reload
• REPL
• C/C++ converter
• Native cross platform UI library
• Run Everywhere

But no compiler yet (but there's already software built with it), wait until May 2019. I hope it hype :3
Here's a bit negative review about V.

Pony (2012) also share similar belief (like Rust and Erlang/Elixir combined):

• Pony is type safe
• Pony is memory safe
• Exception-Safe
• Data-race Free
• Deadlock-Free
• Native Code
• Compatible with C
• Garbage Collected
• and many more

Zig (2017) hopefully will succeed C

• Integration with C without binding, can compile C
• Cross compile
• Generics
• Error handling and Stacktrace by default
• Compile-time reflection and compile-time code execution
• Simple build system

Crystal (2014), not giving similar spirit, but hey it's faster Ruby :3

And don't forget this interesting fib benchmark.

If Programming Language were Humans

Taken from here and nixCraft page (click there to see larger text).

• Python: my formatting is my syntax!
• Javascript: I'm technically functional
• PHP: can I GET guys anything?
• Haskell: (lambda x.x am pure)(i)
• C/C++: If you're not allocating memory, you're not living!
• C#: I am nothing like my father.
• Erlang: Destroy one of my processes and I will only grow stronger
• Elixir: I Draw my Eldritch Power From all my process-chans
• Rust: I'll be designated driver tonight!
  Programmer: we know
  Rust: Don't talk while eatingyou could choke and die haha
• Fortran: I am unparalled in numerical ^ scientific computation!
• Matlab: Come with me if you want to research
• Lua: I'll take things from here
• Lisp Dialects: Trust in the recursion
  Racket: learning is fun

Ah there are some updates!

Programming Language Libraries

Woot woot! I found a website that crawls for libraries *__*)b
And I think it awesome that Go got first rank.

So many migrating to Go ^^. If it's not about migration, there's a lot more here that apparently choose Go (interviews, from X to Go, and also more here).

NOTE: this list will be no longer updated, you can see the lastest changes on github repo so anyone can contribute/update.

Btw why not MongoDB or CockroachDB.. but I think now they are getting better.

If you found any more news like this, paste the link on the comment, I'll gladly add them on the list.
