You made this account just to insinuate I'm a shill? Not cool.

I work professionally with Go and I follow news about V, yes. Also I'm interested in discussions involving Zig and V because even though there is an overlap of the design goals of the languages (e.g. zero-cost interoperability with C, high performance), there aren't many comparisons between them online.

My advice is listen to the criticism of Zig to improve the language instead of making throwaway accounts to accuse people.

I agree that the criticism is unfair because you've posted about other things as well. However, it's true that you've posted in the programming language flamewar style in the past; we're trying to avoid that here, so please don't do that in the future.

Thank you, Dan.

I meant to ask my question in the spirit of HN (intellectual curiosity). I have found this community insightful when it comes to programming languages. Examples:

Lobster

I think this question will also be raised eventually since there have been other examples of Zig ports of Go projects:

I'm looking forward to OP's update. I believe it will be objective and insightful (surprisingly Google returns 0 results of "vlang vs. zig").
