  • How FIL-C Works

    From ReK2 Hispagatos@rek2@usenet_reborn.tui to alt.2600.madrid,alt.2600,alt.2600.hope,es.comp.hackers on Thu Apr 9 05:24:25 2026

    Interesting but I am not sold yet,
    but I do hope it gets traction and better,
    I learn computers with C, grow up with C and got older with C
    so to code on C syntax for me is like drinking water,
    I will give it 1-2 years


    "From a language user standpoint, Fil-C is just C and C++ with GCC/clang extensions. It's more likely than not that your favorite C or C++ program or library compiles in Fil-C with zero changes. The Fil-C compiler is based on clang 20.1.8, so it supports C17 and C++20."


    Maybe I give it a try on my next small program.
    but is not 100% ready for what it says...
    also has a somehow garbage collector, something
    that does not makes me to happy, one of the reasons
    I did not stick around with Go, BUT I am not sure
    how it works with it and how is implemented etc
    so will give the benefit of the doub to Fil-C

    Happy Hacking
