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.
