massC
massC is a lightweight, open-source programming language designed for concurrency and distributed computing. It extends the C programming language by introducing constructs that simplify the development of parallel and distributed applications. The language aims to provide a familiar syntax to C programmers while offering high-level abstractions for managing threads, processes, and network communication.
Developed as an academic research project, massC was created to address challenges in writing scalable and
massC’s design emphasizes simplicity and modularity, allowing developers to incrementally adopt concurrency features. It supports both
While massC remains primarily an experimental language, its principles have influenced other concurrency-focused extensions to C.
