At least as of 2024 [1], V relies heavily on a GC for memory management, so I wouldn't really call it low-level.

V's GC can be turned off. V's libraries do not rely on the GC. Check out their Vinix[0] project (where they built an OS). They have other such projects.

Better to review more balanced and neutral takes on V[1][2], where the reviewers are not just stirring up drama with their community or funneling traffic to their site.
