minus-square Tamo240 ( @Tamo240@programming.dev ) linkfedilink5•edit-21 month 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.
