C-- is kind of dead; it lives on in spirit as a data type used by the back end of GHC, but there hasn't been much development in C-- as a language proper in a while. LLVM seems to be gaining momentum in that space; Lennart has been posting some experiments with generating LLVM code in Haskell in his blog: http://augustss.blogspot.com/ Neither of these are really designed to be directly authored by humans; they are targeted as intermediate languages which are compiled into by some sort of front-end. -- ryan 2009/2/16 Fraser Wilson <blancolioni@gmail.com>:
What was that stripped-down low-level version of C I saw coming out of ... was it Microsoft Research? C-- or something. Unfortunately, the name appears to be immune to Googling.

Hi,
I've checked this 'BitC' language (www.bitc-lang.org). It uses some ideas we see in Haskell, although with different realization, and target mainly reliable low level code, like micro-kernels (although I think it could be used anywhere C is also used, including writing libraries Haskell could call with FFI).
Do you guys know of other languages like that that I could check?
Hume <http://www-fp.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/hume/index.shtml> might be worth a look. I've never tried it, and since one of the top chaps associated with it said to me that he loathes Haskell, I'm not sure I should mention it here :-)
