I had forgotten Cyclone's name, thanks for the reminder. I've always felt kinda sad some of the small features like int@ didn't make their way back into C. I'm glad at least C++ has non-null pointers via references (but with stricter semantics and potentially undesirable syntactic sugar) and fat pointers via span<T>, but it's useless when I have to write in C for legacy reasons.
