Phoronix: CLike: A New, "Simple C-Like" Programming Language

One of the latest programming languages out there is now CLike, a language inspired by the C programming language but with an extensible syntax and typed macros support...

language based on C
targets (compiles on, in this context) LLVM

C++ ?

Does it have a C-like pointer? eh he he

More like C-Unlike, since we're talking about similar-vs-different, not like-vs-dislike...but I see where you're coming from.

[gens]

is it modeled after LLVM's intermediate format ?

@people, not everything is about hate...

Nobody uses the Q Public License, lol.
They should have gone with MIT, BSD, ISC or Apache.

I am not sure CLike is needed.
There are already many languages such as D, Rust, Ceylon, etc.

It is getting to the point of dismissing returns, most. Of these languages have little to offer over C++ and Python. The world needs a much higher level approach to programming. I'd rather see energy go into the use of AI's to compose apps from high level requests. I just don't see a lot to be gained from yet another conventional language.
