+
+V is a statically typed compiled programming language
+designed for building maintainable software.
+
+It's similar to Go and its design has also been influenced by
+Oberon, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, and Python.
+
+The language promotes writing
+simple and clear code with minimal abstraction.
+
+Despite being simple, V gives the developer a lot of power.
+Anything you can do in other languages, you can do in V.
