C3 Language

C3 is a C-like language trying to be "an incremental improvement over C" rather than a whole new language. C3 is based on the ideas of the C2 language: to iterate on top of C without trying to be a whole new language.

C3 tries to be an alternative in the the C/C++ niche: fast and close to the metal.

Design Principles

  • Procedural "get things done"-type of language.
  • Try to stay close to C - only change where truly needed.
  • Flawless C integration.
  • Learning C3 should be easy for a C programmer.
  • Dare violating the "close to metal" principle if the value is great.
  • Not an object oriented language.
  • Avoid "big ideas".
  • Avoid the kitchen sink language trap.

Current status

Most work is still being done in the design draft here: https://c3lang.github.io/c3docs/. If you have suggestions, send a mail to christoffer@aegik.com, file an issue or discuss C3 on the r/ProgrammingLanguages Discord server: https://discord.gg/cfu4wdk

There are some small work being done, in particular lifting some code from an earlier "work-in-progress" C2 compiler called Titanos.
