What is C3 (Programming Language)?

Design Principles Procedural "get things done"-type of language. Try to stay close to C - only change what's really necessary. C ABI compatibility and excellent C integration. Learning C3 should be easy for a C programmer. Data is inert. Avoid "big ideas" & the "more is better" fallacy. Introduce some higher level conveniences where the value is great. C3 owes its inspiration to the C2 language: to iterate on top of C without trying to be a whole new language.

In what ways does C3 differ from C?

No mandatory header files New semantic macro system Module based name spacing Slices Operator overloading Compile time reflection Enhanced compile time execution Generics based on generic modules "Result"-based zero overhead error handling Defer Value methods Associated enum data No preprocessor Less undefined behaviour and added runtime checks in "safe" mode Limited operator overloading to enable userland dynamic arrays Optional pre and post conditions
