gollark: You have to pass other ones for pointer arithmetic and such.
gollark: Actually, #2 would be hard, so "memory safety enforced via disabling pointers unless you pass a pointer aptitude test".
gollark: gollarC features:- osmarkslibc\™️ built in- memory safety enforced via disabling pointers unless you ~~provide mathematical proof that your use of them is always valid in every way~~ pass pointer aptitude tests (plus ones for pointer arithmetic etc.)- completely broken backward compatibility wrt. `switch`- lambdas for some reason- length-terminated strings- `quaternion.h`- fearless concurrency via an optional setting to deny all inter-thread shared memory access- macro for automatically generating yet another linked list implementation for some reason
gollark: * gollarC
gollark: This could either be a fun esolang opportunity or a time travel opportunity.
