C3 lang – A modern C alternative – 0.6.3 released

Website & Docs: https://c3-lang.org/ Release notes: https://c3.handmade.network/blog/p/8957-welcome_to_c3_version_0.6.3 What is C3? – An Evolution of C, with modern language Ergonomics, Safety, Seamless C interop all wrapped up in close to C syntax. C3 Language Features: - Ergonomics and Safety – with Optionals, defer, slices, foreach and contracts. - Seamless C ABI integration, for full access to C and can use all advanced C3 features from C. - Performance by default – with SIMD, memory allocators, zero overhead errors, inline ASM and LLVM backend. - Modules are simple – with modules that are an encapsulated namespace. - Generic code – with polymorphic modules, interfaces and compile time reflection. - Macros without a PhD – code similar to normal functions, or do compile time code. C3 FAQ: - A comparison with other languages: https://c3

Show HN: C3 – A C alternative that looks like C

Compiler link: https://github.com/c3lang/c3c Docs: http://www.c3-lang.org This is my follow-up "Show HN" from roughly a year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27876570). Since then the language design has evolved and the compiler has gotten much more solid. Assorted extra info: - The C3 name is a homage to the C2 language project (http://c2lang.org) which it was originally inspired by. - Although C3 mostly conforms to C syntax, the most obvious change is requiring `fn` in front of the functions. This is to simplify searching for definitions in editors. - There is a comparison with some other languages here: http://www.c3-lang.org/compare/ - The parts in C3 which breaks C semantics or syntax: http://www.c3-lang.org/changesfromc/ - Aside from the very C-like syntax, one the biggest difference between C3 and other "C competitors" is

that C3 prioritizes C ABI compatibility, so that all C3 special types (such as slices and optionals) can be used from C without any effort. C and C3 can coexist nicely in a code base. - Currently the standard library is not even alpha quality, it's actively being built, but there is a `libc` module which allows accessing all of libc. Raylib is available to use from C3 with MacOS and Windows, see: https://github.com/c3lang/vendor - There is a blog with assorted articles I've written during the development: https://c3.handmade.network/blog
