Cyclone, A Safe Dialect of C

Cyclone is a programming language based on C that is safe, meaning that it rules out programs that have buffer overflows, dangling pointers, format string attacks, and so on...
The goal of Cyclone is to give programmers the same low-level control and performance of C without sacrificing safety, and to make it easy to port or interface with legacy C code...

I just found this a couple of days ago...

What do you think about cyclone? Does anyone here use / know about it? And most importantly is it worth learning?

[Prelude]

I've known people that swear by it, but I have yet to see any projects aside from programming language research use it.

Unless you don't want to stray from C, I highly recommend ADA over cyclone.

What do you mean?

I highly recommend ADA over cyclone

ADA? Can you give a link please?

[Prelude]

>What do you mean?
This was in preparation for suggesting another programming language. Cyclone has syntax similar to C, ADA does not.

First on the google list
