CobaltC – The Successor to C?

drgo

reads more like a Wishlist rather than actual implementable specs.

This is certainly copying off Rust's homework...

This doesnt seems to be meaningfully different from Rust. > does not require tracing garbage collection Just call it garbage collection. (Applies in two ways: if you think that garbage collection subsumes reference counting then this language doesn’t require garbage collection in the sense that it also doesn’t require reference counting; if you think that garbage collection does not subsume reference counting then there’s no point in saying three words when you can say two.)

This is so obviously written by ChatGPT from what I can tell. Not even an attempt to copyedit it unless I missed something.

It's great to have it all spec'd out. However, I think specs like this suffer the same fate as war plans: they get modified quickly as soon as implementation begins. Nonetheless, it's good to have a clear idea of where you're headed. I just wouldn't call it "Final."

Another one?

Unsafe identifiers, prone to homoglyph attacks. No TR39 provisions. Worse than rust or Java. https://strawberry9.github.io/the-wrong-memory/Appendix_06.h...
