There are many new C ripoffs, but nobody seems to acknowledge Cyclone (https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/ https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/) which is a lot older.

There are many new C ripoffs, but nobody seems to acknowledge Cyclone (https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/ https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/) which is a lot older. It was even backed by a corporation (AT&T), but never succeeded. I wonder why.
- AndyKelley 11y agoMaybe it has something to do with this: > Cyclone is no longer supported; the core research project has finished and the developers have moved on to other things. (Several of Cyclone's ideas have made their way into Rust.) Cyclone's code can be made to work with some effort, but it will not build out of the box on modern (64 bit) platforms).
