projC

projC is a programming language designed for embedded systems development. It aims to provide the control and efficiency of C while introducing features that improve code safety and maintainability. Developed by researchers at [Fictional University Name], projC addresses common pitfalls found in C programming, such as buffer overflows and undefined behavior, through its language design.

Key features of projC include a robust type system with enhanced memory safety checks, a more explicit handling of pointers, and built-in support for concurrency primitives. The language incorporates a module system that facilitates better code organization and reduces the likelihood of naming conflicts. projC also emphasizes predictable performance, ensuring that its abstractions do not introduce significant runtime overhead, making it suitable for resource-constrained environments.

The compiler for projC translates the source code into efficient machine code, often targeting microcontrollers and other embedded hardware. While it draws inspiration from C, projC is not a superset of C, meaning that existing C code may require modifications to be compiled under projC. The project's goal is to offer a modern alternative for embedded development that balances low-level control with increased reliability. Its adoption is currently limited to research settings and specific industrial applications where its safety features are highly valued.
