Redmond can feel the excitement of Windows users. It wants them to relax by reminding them of how great Windows has always been. It's got a good beat, and you can reboot to it

Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile (wip), science, embedded, tooling, etc. This week's new (to me) programming language
