fastc

fastc is a compiler for the C programming language. It is designed to be fast and efficient, aiming to compile C code quickly. It supports a significant portion of the C standard, allowing developers to compile typical C programs. The project's primary goal is to reduce compilation times, which can be a bottleneck in the software development cycle, especially for large projects. fastc aims to achieve its speed through various optimizations and a streamlined compilation process. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for other C compilers in many development workflows. The compiler is typically developed and maintained as an open-source project. Users can often build and integrate it into their existing build systems. The focus on speed makes it an attractive option for developers who prioritize rapid iteration and testing. Its development often involves exploring different compiler architectures and optimization techniques to further enhance performance.
