I read this document:

http://www.c2lang.org/docs/c2lang_design.pdf

and this web page:

http://c2lang.org/site/language/basic_types/

I think the C2 design is broken with the built-in types lacking the
flexibility of the C design which doesn't force implementors to
provide slow non native types (at least for integers). Additionally, I
don't think naming integer types "iX" or "uX" is clear and relevant for
most programmers.

Moreover, this language suggests programmers to throw to the toilet all
existing code. Why should anyone or any company do this?

The self claimed "modernized" C is a total rip-off like C++ and it
shouldn't abuse the C reputation. If I'd like to design a new
programming language better than C, I wouldn't call it C to remind its
weakness.

I would prompt its author to join the group in order to share with the
C community his vision and the issues he faced with the C language.

It doesn't mean the C language is perfect but I would prefer to improve
the C language instead of building yet another bloated programming
language like C++.
