Similar features of C probably, but with many differences (and probably different syntax too). Specifically, I would want to have such things as: - Good documentation. - Always twos complement. (For one thing I would have -fwrapv being the default setting.) - Reduce some undefined behaviour, so that more of the behaviour is defined or partially defined. - Types specifying how many bits, or can specify in terms of other features (e.g. pointer size). - Not Unicode. - Avoid the confusing syntax for types that C has. - The C comment syntax has /* even though / followed by * would be a valid sequence in C, so, such a conflict should be avoided in a better programming language. - Parameterized types. - Must still have the goto command. - More powerful macros and preprocessing (including auto-generation files too), including a superset of the capabilities of C, but with possibility of hygienic macros, too. - Better namespacing possibility than C. - Does not need too many extra libraries than C, and can be used with any libraries for C programs (including possibility to be called from C codes, too). - Many of the GNU C features. - Associated data with types (which may include functions, constants, numbers, strings, other types, etc). - You can still use pointer arithmetic, etc like is also possible with C. - String type being the length and pointer to beginning of data; this way you can easily make slices. For compatibility with C codes, they will by default also always having the null terminator after the data, too. - A few additional things, too.
