C3: The "Better C" Nobody Asked For (But Might Love)

Описание: C is legendary… and kind of a mess.
Undefined behavior, memory safety nightmares, error handling from 1972, it’s powerful, but brutal.

C3 is a modern reboot of C that keeps the speed, drops the trauma, and adds features devs actually want:

Real modules
Lightweight generics
Clean error handling
Compile-time reflection
No backwards-compat baggage

In this episode of Patchnotes:
🔧 Why C3 was built (and how it compares to Zig, Rust, and Odin)
📦 What makes it usable in real-world projects today
🧠 The philosophical shift that sets it apart from other “better C” attempts
⚙️ And whether it has any shot at surviving the graveyard of failed C successors

Whether you write embedded code, systems-level tools, or just hate CMake with a passion, C3 might be the language update you didn’t know you needed.
