Cfriendly

Cfriendly is a programming language designed with the goal of making C programming more approachable and user-friendly. It aims to simplify common C programming tasks while retaining compatibility with C code. The language introduces features intended to reduce the likelihood of common errors such as buffer overflows and memory leaks.

Key features of Cfriendly include built-in memory management assistance, improved error handling mechanisms, and a more expressive syntax for certain operations. The intent is not to replace C entirely, but rather to provide a stepping stone or a tool for developers who find C's low-level control challenging. Cfriendly code can often be compiled directly into standard C code, facilitating integration with existing C projects and libraries.

The development of Cfriendly is driven by the desire to bridge the gap between high-level scripting languages and low-level system programming languages. It seeks to offer a safer and more productive environment for developing applications that require performance comparable to C, without sacrificing as much developer time to debugging memory-related issues. The language is still under active development, with a focus on expanding its feature set and improving its tooling.
