I've only dipped my toe in, but it compiles fast code and works. Can't argue with results.

The book about the language was published by packt, and I had my eyebrows raised. I want to give a benefit of doubt tough and learn more.

How can a language be a scam?

For reference, for the ones who aren't aware of the constant drama that seems to follow V: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... (open up almost any discussion and see the flood of similar messages).

I never paid enough attention to figure out if the drama is justified or not (and don't really care either, please don't try to convince me to care either, don't shoot the messenger).

This seems to be the language's main page https://vlang.io/

I don't know.

But I just released a language called U, and I was surprised to see this one.

Yeah it seems to be following the No Man's Sky playbook.
