About:
C3C is the reference compiler for the C3 programming language, a modern evolution of C designed for performance and developer ergonomics. It builds upon C's foundation with features like modules, generics, and improved syntax while maintaining ABI compatibility. The compiler leverages LLVM and LLD to generate optimized native code.
Key Features:
  • Modern C-like syntax with modules and packages
  • Compile-time code execution and reflection
  • Generic programming with templates and constraints
  • Seamless C interoperability and ABI compatibility
  • Fast compilation times and LLVM backend
Use Cases:
  • Systems programming requiring modern language features
  • High-performance applications where C++ is overkill
  • Embedded development needing fine-grained control
  • Migrating legacy C codebases to a modern toolchain
Alternatives:
  • clang – Clang compiles standard C; C3C adds modern features while maintaining C compatibility
  • gcc – GCC is a mature C compiler; C3C offers a more modern language design and faster iteration
  • rustc – Rust provides memory safety; C3C prioritizes C-like control and simplicity
