V is a language that’s transpiles to C then compiles with either GCC or Clang; support for translating C to V is also coming soon for the language. Straight native compilation, with small binary sizes, is also being worked on for V. V is meant to wield power akin to Rust but have the ease of use of Go.
(Has many other features as well)
Rust, which many may have already heard of, is meant to promise thread and memory safety, among many other things, such as helpful and clear compile-time messages and compile-time restrictions to help enforce guaranteed code stability. However, Rust is also known for being more… verbose with how things have to be written to accomplish tasks at times, whereas V aims to alleviate this.
