Show HN: The C3 programming language (C alternative language) (Score: 150+ in 1 day)

Get it from here: https://github.com/c3lang/c3c
In 2019, while contributing to the C2 language, I started up "C3" as a pet project while waiting for pull requests to be approved...
Now it's 6 years later and C3 well on its way to 1.0, having released 0.7.0 last week.
Unlike other C alternatives, C3 tries to evolve C – but without concern to backwards compatibility to the latter.
What it adds to C is among other things:
- Module system
- Semantic macros and compile time introspection
- Lightweight generic modules
- Zero overhead errors
- Build-in slices and SIMD types
- Gradual contracts
- Built-in checks in debug mode
You can find more details on the site: https://c3-lang.org
It might be interesting to look at the examples: https://c3-lang.org/language-overview/examples/ so see how the language looks for some simple examples.
Some other links that might be interesting follows:
