Never heard of this language, but it looks interesting. Very modern, certainly. One thing that stood out to me is that there's apparently the ability to write a bare `for` loop...? Is that just equivalent to while (true) in other languages?

It can be used in many forms, while true is one of them.

I don't have a whole lot of experience hand writing v-lang. Mostly machine generated from static python.

But I find it convenient for what it does. Golang that is less verbose, single binary for distribution and fewer tokens if you're using an agent.

GitHub.com/LadybugDB/ladybug-vlang has a CLI I recently wrote with an agent for a database I maintain.

Static python with design by contract can be a stronger specification than natural language. @antirez was discussing this on his social media today.
