minus-squareTamo240@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-23 months ago The goal of this proposal is to advance a superset of C++ with a rigorously safe subset. The subset is of the proposed syntax superset. Reason being because the superset also contains explicitly unsafe syntax similar to rust.
