Cello is a library that brings higher level programming to C. By acting as a modern, powerful runtime system Cello makes many things easy that were previously impractical or awkward in C such as generic data structures, polymorphic functions, interfaces / type classes, constructors / destructors, optional garbage collection, exceptions, and reflection. And because Cello works seamlessly alongside standard C you get all the other benefits such as great performance, powerful tooling, and extensive libraries. I made Cello as a fun experiment to see what C looks like hacked to its limits. As well as being a powerful library and toolkit, it should be interesting to those who want to explore what is possible in C. I recommend reading A Fat Pointer Library to get an overview of how Cello works.You can also peek at the source code, which I'm told is fairly readable, or ask me any questions you like via e-mail.
