Things that could be done to make C better without really changing very much
- case 1..100: - conditionals statements as expressions:
if (control_flow(expr) stmt0;) stmt1; where the while(expr) stmt evaluates to 0 if stmt0 is never executed, or stmt0 the last time it is and: if (control_flow(expr) stmt0; else stmt1;) stmt2; which is essentially the same except stmt2 always happens after stmt1.
- #def ... #endef , so we don't have to use \ on macros
- this gets us multi-line macros that still basically look like C and don't have to have \ all over the place, and get syntax highlit right - and error messages you can read from the compiler, by default.
