To be fair, I ran into a compiler bug in Zig within a few hours of using it. I'd still expect Zig to be a lot less buggy than V, based on what I heard.
Last time I looked at V it just seemed like the language wanted to have it all. No tradeoffs, just "The best parts of Rust and Go" with no explanation how that's remotely achievable (and it wasn't, judging by the attempts to make "auto free" memory management happen, and having to discover first hand that this is not a good approach, and the problem is turing complete).
- lerno 3y agoThen again, out of the C alternative languages Zig, Odin and C3 - Zig’s always been the one with the most open bugs despite (or due to?) having by far the most amount of people working on it. Ironic now when the compiler is written in Zig considering how Zig is advertising itself as being better at stability and reliability than C/C++ (the C3 compiler is written in C and Odin’s compiler is a C-like C++)

- ylluminate 3y agoZig, similar to Rust, is like crawling into a syntax dumpster fire. Ugh. Give me C any day if I didn't have a choice for better options.
