V: python, ruby to V translation

Translating dynamic languages is much harder due to eval, $$var etc.

But a subset of the language is possible. Similar to what FaceBook did.

We want that V will have this capability.

It's better make V core stable enough first, forget about Python/Ruby at this stage.

[medvednikov]

Of course, this would only be worked on after 1.0 :)

Nice quick overview over "simple" optimizations (or rather "what to not forget when writing a traspiler like V") when it comes to high-level languages like ruby, python, lua, etc. can be found on https://engineering.shopify.com/blogs/engineering/announcing-go-lua .

@spytheman That seems to refer to V lang community

@Delta456 Thanks ... I guessed so too, but there was a small chance that @lithic is a royalty though :-) ...
