STClike
STClike is a term used in programming-language discussions to describe a family of languages that adopt a C-like syntax while embracing design principles associated with the STC family. It is not a single formal language but a category used to refer to several projects that aim for high performance, low-level control, and interoperability with C code.
Common characteristics include a braces-delimited block structure, semicolon-terminated statements, static typing, and explicit memory management options.
Concerning pragmatics, implementations tend to target embedded systems, real-time software, or performance-critical applications. Toolchains emphasize cross-compilation,
Example: a simple function to add two integers, written in a STClike style, might look like: int
