C3 has "path shortening", so for example given `open(...)` in std::io::file is usually used as `file::open(...)`. If we would to write this as `file.open(...)`. Consider now the case of mistyping `open`: `file.openn(...)`. Is this

C3 follows the C ABI, so no it doesn't do it and it's not planned.

What kind of conditional compilation are you missing?

Other than C3, there is Jai, Odin, Zig and Hare which are the ones that have any traction right now that I know of. Many interesting projects have been started but ultimately later abandoned. Going to C++ competitors there is obviously Rust

Just to be clear, I don't mean the description of Zig to put down the language or the community. It's the best I can do to describe the difference between Zig on one hand and Odin/C3 on the other. A more concrete example that

If you pass them as parameters, then there are in/out/inout annotations to limit usage. But other than that, there isn't anything.

For what it's worth, I found the Zig community on the biggest Zig discord very nice and welcoming. But that said , there is a lot of "you have to understand Zig" sentiment. Also, there is a lot of "I discovered Zig an

As the author, let me add something beyond the comparison. Zig and Odin are very different languages, Odin is – as its slogan goes - "for the Joy of Programming". Zig on the other hand doesn't feel that this is a goal. From w

`::` simplifies the module vs identifier resolution. In C3 there is something called "path shortening", allowing you to use `foo::bar()` in place of something like `std::baz::foo::bar()`. To do something similar with `.` is proble

1. C is universal, any other language is a dependency. 2. If you're using something like C# or Kotlin or whatever, then you're not serious about compilation speed. 3. You will need to provide a C API anyway.

No, just no

The QBE author has said that good compilation speed was not a design goal. It also outputs asm which then has to be run through GCC or Clang, which nullifies any benefit of being a standalone backend.

There isn't anything official. Tonis maintains an "Awesome C3" repo on GitHub: https://github.com/tonis2/Awesome.c3 (curation is all done by Tonis, I don't have any say what goes into it). Share it

I find that the hard part with designing macros and other metaprogramming constructs that run at compile time is not adding POWER - that part is easy, but to make it readable and easy to understand. If a reader of the code needs to stop to

Some people love this, some think it’s a necessary sacrifice - a rite of passage to endure in order to produce ”optimal” software. Others try Odin or C3 instead.

`goto` is trivial to implement. `goto` doing the right thing jumping over `defer` and implicitly unwrapping optionals (flow-typing) is less nice as you suddenly need to track much more things in the front end. And you might say "so wha

Then again, out of the C alternative languages Zig, Odin and C3 - Zig’s always been the one with the most open bugs despite (or due to?) having by far the most amount of people working on it. Ironic now when the compiler is written in Zig c

The `any*` fat pointer in C3 is a version of this: https://c3-lang.org/anyinterfaces/ Once this is available the step to embedding some runtime type information isn't far.
