As a notice to others reading this user's comments, they are a recently made account that seems to exist mostly to post about V and post negatively about Zig. Extremely suspect given the history of poor behavior from the V project.
I work professionally with Go and I follow news about V, yes. Also I'm interested in discussions involving Zig and V because even though there is an overlap of the design goals of the languages (e.g. zero-cost interoperability with C, high performance), there aren't many comparisons between them online.
My advice is listen to the criticism of Zig to improve the language instead of making throwaway accounts to accuse people.
I meant to ask my question in the spirit of HN (intellectual curiosity). I have found this community insightful when it comes to programming languages. Examples:

I think this question will also be raised eventually since there have been other examples of Zig ports of Go projects:

I'm looking forward to OP's update. I believe it will be objective and insightful (surprisingly Google returns 0 results of "vlang vs. zig").
