In 2019, while contributing to the C2 language, I started up "C3" as a pet project while waiting for pull requests to be approved...

Now it's 6 years later and C3 well on its way to 1.0, having released 0.7.0 last week.

Unlike other C alternatives, C3 tries to evolve C – but without concern to backwards compatibility to the latter.

What it adds to C is among other things:

- Module system

- Semantic macros and compile time introspection

- Lightweight generic modules

- Zero overhead errors

- Build-in slices and SIMD types

- Gradual contracts

- Built-in checks in debug mode

You can find more details on the site: https://c3-lang.org It might be interesting to look at the examples: https://c3-lang.org/language-overview/examples/ so see how the language looks for some simple examples.
