Erlang vs V Programming Language: What are the differences?
Developers describe Erlang as "A programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability". Some of Erlang's uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. On the other hand, V Programming Language is detailed as "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++.
Erlang and V Programming Language can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.
Erlang and V Programming Language are both open source tools. V Programming Language with 10.5K GitHub stars and 644 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Erlang with 7.8K GitHub stars and 2.12K 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!
