R vs V Programming Language: What are the differences?
What is R? A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible.
What is V Programming Language? A compiled language for developing maintainable software. It is a statically typed compiled programming language designed for building maintainable software. It's similar to Go and is also influenced by Oberon, Rust, Swift. It supports translation from C and (soon) C++.
R and V Programming Language belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.
V Programming Language is an open source tool with 10.5K GitHub stars and 644 GitHub forks. Here's a link to V Programming Language's open source repository on GitHub.
This language, even in early dev stages is to put it simply, fantastic! It is small, fast, and types a lot like go. It feels complete even though coming out less than a year ago in first early stages. I love it, it works anywhere and everywhere plus making binaries and GUI applications is just super easy!
