Armed Bear Common Lisp VS V (programming language)

ABCl (Armed Bear Common Lisp) is a Common Lisp that runs in the JVM. https://common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

It would be good to remember that just because something runs on the jvm doesn't mean it's Java. Hell there is a common lisp that runs on the JVM (armored bear common lisp). Source: over 2 years ago

In Common Lisp, - native or FFI, there are a couple of libraries: see https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#machine-learning - besides C, there is a way to interface with Java: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#java ; as well as an implementation abcl that runs over JVM - there are two ways to interact with python: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#python - using CFFI vs streams.

The creator of V made some big claims that raised a few eyeballs, they've gained a reasonable following over the years, have a pretty serious looking website (https://vlang.io) a beer-money level Patreon following and some corporate partnerships/sponsors. However have experienced some pretty brutal takedowns over the years, with some of the bolder claims about the language/compiler being exposed as being.

Fingers crossed for vlang[0]. It's like golang with better types and more syntactic sugar. Feels like a proper upgrade from Python. I really hope they succeed. [0]: https://vlang.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

And again a No true Scotsman. If that's the kind of attitude you have towards languages, you'll appreciate V infinitely more than you might be appreciating Rust. After all, it offers better solutions than Rust, like autofree, they just aren't there yet :). Source: 10 months ago

I discovered VLang today. It's an interesting project. Source: 10 months ago

According to their own benchmarks, Seed7 can run faster than C (it compiles to C, but it's entirely possible the emited code is better optimized than a human could write directly in C)... It doesn't have a GC BUT manages memory automatically (I didn't really follow the explanation in the FAQ, something about automatically freeing variables that go out of scope and keeping only one reference around?)... that's like...
