# C3 Language
C3 is a C-like language striving to be an evolution of C, rather than a
completely new language. As an alternative in the C/C++ niche it
aims to be fast and close to the metal.
C3 is a programming language that builds on the syntax and semantics of the C language,
with the goal of evolving it while still retaining familiarity for C programmers.
It's an evolution, not a revolution: the C-like
for programmers who like C.
The manual for C3 can be found at [www.c3-lang.org](http://www.c3-lang.org).

1. Make sure you have Visual Studio 17 2022 installed or alternatively install the "Buildtools for Visual Studio" (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe) and then select "Desktop development with C++" (there is also `c3c/resources/install_win_reqs.bat` to automate this)

libcurl is needed. The CMake script should detect it if it is available. Note that
this functionality is non-essential and it is perfectly fine to user the compiler without it.*
