- That's... not Minecraft. That's some weird voxel game attempting, poorly, to clone Minecraft. Doesn't really bode well, imo.by ravenical
- First time I heard about V was because of the Volt desktop chat app: https://volt-app.com/ which seemed attractive at the time. Turns out it was completely closed source and read secrets from local browser's cookie storage without any kind of warning. I've never nope'd out of a program so fast.
There are others in this comment section claiming this language is scam. Seems about right. The entire Vinix page is slop, too.
by WD-42 - Its and odd name choice and very close to venix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venix
- How are things going with V btw? In the past i've seen some bad press about this programming language.
It was nice to use when I tried to dabble with it.
by foul - huh, that "minecraft" screenshot is pretty clearly minetest/luanti. the vinix repo has some code at least attempting to do real Minecraft, but does it actually work?by nosrep
- Can you explain what you meant with this sentence on that page you wrote:
"That is the whole system, not a stripped-down mode you switch into."
by polotics - Kudos to the efforts. No matter the past. We have an operating system. That is a big news. And that too with a GUI. Is it robust and production ready now? No.
But this is what we should be celebrating. Something that came out of people's efforts and hard work.
Maybe in a few years of iteration it will reach a stage where we can actually use it for simple tasks or even as a remote execution setup.
Always good to have options. Also for a programming language that actually enabled the creation of this OS, that is big news! Great going guys!
by himujjal - I enjoy the screenshot showing Calculator taking 617 MB of RAM. It feels very modern indeed.by phoe-krk
