CobaltC – The Successor to C?

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

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

Before I read this, what is there about C3 [0] you don't like?

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."

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.)

reads more like a Wishlist rather than actual implementable specs.

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

Another one?
