  Description     : a C like language, with additional safety and features

 Cyclone is like C: it has pointers and pointer arithmetic, structs, 
 arrays, goto, manual memory management, and C's preprocessor and syntax.
 Cyclone adds features such as pattern matching, algebraic datatypes, 
 exceptions, region-based memory management, and optional garbage 
 collection.
 Cyclone is safe: pure Cyclone programs are not vulnerable to a wide 
 class of bugs that plague C programs: buffer overflows, format string 
 attacks, double free bugs, dangling pointer accesses, etc.
