Show HN: The C3 programming language (C alternative language)

Summary

Get it from here: https://github.com/c3lang/c3c 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.
