Groovy vs V Programming Language: What are the differences?
What is Groovy? A dynamic language for the Java platform. Groovy builds upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk. It makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve.
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++.
Groovy and V Programming Language belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.
Groovy and V Programming Language are both open source tools. It seems that V Programming Language with 10.5K GitHub stars and 644 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Groovy with 1.49K GitHub stars and 415 GitHub forks.
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!
