How can I use V as a scripting language? I managed to use TinyCC as a scripting language but V seems to make more sense.

I'm also interesting in C++ interop...

This language looks pretty great. Simple, fast, nicer and lean syntax.

I'm still curious why I often see "name string" intead of "string name". I guess it's easier to parse? pythonic indent would make this language perfect.



Scripting is one of V's main features[0]. Just a couple days ago, it was incorporated into the 'master' branch[1] so you can now use it.

I meant compiling and executing V from C++, calling V functions from C++, and C++ function from V.


V produces .c files, which are then compiled to .o files, like C.

Interfacing v code into a C++ app, is like interfacing with any other C library, with the addition, that you may have to write the C headers yourself (or you can cut/paste them from the produced C file).

If you want to call a C++ function from V, you have to export it from the C++ side, like you would do for a C app: extern "C" { int your_function(int x) } ... and then call it from the V side like any other C function. (https://vlang.io/docs#calling_c)
