  • Fil-C is a memory-safe implementation of C and C++ with fanatical compatibility.
  • It ensures memory safety through concurrent garbage collection and InvisiCaps, checking all potentially unsafe operations.
  • Key features include complete memory safety with no escape hatches, high compatibility with existing C/C++ software, and modern tooling based on clang.
  • Many open-source programs like CPython, OpenSSH, and GNU Emacs work with Fil-C, supporting advanced features like threads and exceptions.
  • Fil-C's compiler is licensed under Apache 2, and its runtime under BSD 2-clause, with musl (MIT) and glibc (LGPL 2.1) as standard libraries.
  • Community engagement is encouraged through the Fil-C Discord for discussions and contributions.
