Should the autofree function be taken seriously enough?

I read a lot of the author's documents about V, and many of them said that GC brought him surprise, which made me think that V language is still a language that mainly develops GC.

To be honest, I came here for the Autofree function, and I think many people came here for this function.

There are too many languages that use GC. If the V language is dominated by GC, I don't think there will be much development, even if it is a combination of autofree and gc (this combination is uncontrollable).

I think the V language should spend more time on autofree, and provide a complete autofree option when compiling, so that I can know that my program is controllable.

autofree will be a first class citizen in 0.5.

Like the blog post on autofree explains, and like you mentioned, GC indeed showed a better performance than expected (and better than autofree), but it's clear that autofree is wanted/needed by many.

Very good, looking forward to autofree becoming a regular official

I would like to know about when V0.5 will be released?

When it is ready.
