I think you want Zig!

[backpropaganda]

Zig looks amazing! Thank you! While it doesn't compile to C, you read my mind that I actually wanted a C replacement rather than compile to C.

[steveklabnik]

Great! Yeah, that's what I was guessing, glad that I guessed correctly.

[bgongfu]

Isn't Zig based on LLVM rather than compiled to C?

[steveklabnik]

Yes, I didn’t assume that was the highest order bit here.

[jitl]

Zig explicitly does not depend on the C stdlib

[steveklabnik]

Yeah, this is true, I was responding mostly to the semantics aspect rather than that part.
