Any of these other calculators can be used instead, and would be using 10 or 15 times less RAM. Therefore, seems like trying to insinuate or make something out of nothing.
I tried porting Cocoa and decided not to. Will remove.
But this is what we should be celebrating. Something that came out of people's efforts and hard work.
Maybe in a few years of iteration it will reach a stage where we can actually use it for simple tasks or even as a remote execution setup.
Always good to have options. Also for a programming language that actually enabled the creation of this OS, that is big news! Great going guys!
Agree. Any attempt at negativity is unnecessary. Many of us just like programming and open-source projects.
Vinix is a fun OS to play with or contribute to.
"That is the whole system, not a stripped-down mode you switch into."
It was nice to use when I tried to dabble with it.
- The bad press was because the initial public release on GitHub did not implement most of the things seemed like they're implemented, (Rust like memory safety etc.)
- Over time it actually saw contributions from a lot of people and is kind of decent now, be it not as polished as Go, Rust, D etc.
- It is super easy to use, so kind of attracts an audience.
Any just released language (talking about when it came out back in 2019), is not going to be polished. That should be common sense. I've never seen a first release alpha of any language be polished or not have have things in a state of partial implementation. 0.1 is not 1.0.
> Over time it actually saw contributions from a lot of people and is kind of decent now
True. At present, they have 846 contributors and over 2,300 forks on GitHub.
> It is super easy to use, so kind of attracts an audience.
Agree. Ease of use is one of its attractive features. Very much geared towards getting people started, even newbies to programming, and doing useful things.

10k+ bugs fixed, only ~40 open github issues.
Think the majority or the V community, would vote for Vinix as the best name.
There are others in this comment section claiming this language is scam. Seems about right. The entire Vinix page is slop, too.
Huh, since when does QEMU support hardware virtualization on Apple Silicon? To the best of my knowledge, among all the VM managers available on macOS (VMware, Parallels, VirtualBox, …) only UTM currently supports hardware virtualization and that's through the Apple Virtualization backend, not through QEMU.

Native V Calculator uses 4 MB of RAM.
