Marc Samuro's Safe-C

This isn’t the only C dialect to address type safety, but IMHO the creator has credibility because he drew on over 30 years’ experience in the field. Hope the reader and the admin finds it worth checking out.

Hi @peaknuckle!

Exercism is 100% community driven when it comes to adding language tracks. If you want to see this language here, read the documentation about adding a new language track and decide, if you want to take that path.

If you want to do so, there will be very many supportive people around here to help getting this done.

Clicking the ‘Support’ link puts me on a page where apparently I’ve been signed out. Also, it seems that exercism has at least one thing in common with other sites like it: I have to prove I know enough about the language to be able to code in it, before it’ll be considered to be included in the curriculum. Learn X In Y Minutes has a process to ‘submit a pull request’ to github, which is so involved it may as well be an act of congress. Tutorialspoint’s process is too ambiguous in that a submission may be rejected because it doesn’t conform to existing standards: C-like, Lisp-like, etc. My idea of learning to code is not pulling myself up by nonexistent tech.

Welcome to the Open Source community. It is often built by volunteers for free. Things don’t magically appear just because you want them to exist. Someone needs to build it. No one here is being paid to make new tracks exist.

If you want something to exist, you can either build it yourself or convince someone else to volunteer to build it – for free in their own free time. If you want to build it, we’re here to support and guide you. If you don’t want to build it, you could try convincing someone else to learn that language and build the track for you! You can try to make a convincing argument for why this language is exciting and why someone would really, really want to learn it and build a track for it. Good luck!
