v is the compiler for the V programming language, a statically typed systems language designed for simplicity and fast compilation. It compiles V source code to native machine code via C, achieving near-instant build times even for large projects.
The compiler includes a built-in code formatter, test runner, REPL, and package manager. V emphasizes memory safety through features like no null pointers, immutable variables by default, and optional garbage collection. It provides seamless C interoperability, allowing direct calls to C libraries without bindings.
Production builds with the -prod flag enable additional optimizations. The compiler can also generate C source code for portability to platforms without a V compiler available.
