Summary

This article delivers a heavy, critical analysis of the V programming language (2023), focusing on memory management, autofree, and coroutines. It argues that several touted V features do not behave as advertised, cites specific commits and experiments, and questions the reliability of V’s documentation and ecosystem tooling (such as c2v). The piece also covers community dynamics and project viability, concluding that many promises remain unfulfilled after years of development.
